Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 >.esther c< , Why do you say Ester C is not good to take. I have been taking it every day for a couple of years, because I have read it is better than plain C, and it is more easily absorbed. C.

Ester-C® is technically not an ester, not at all the same thing as ascorbic acid ester. It actually contains mainly calcium ascorbate, but also contains small amounts of the vitamin C metabolites dehydroascorbate (oxidized ascorbic acid), calcium threonate, and trace levels of xylonate and lyxonate. Although the metabolites are supposed to increase the bioavailability of vitamin C, the only published study in humans found no difference between Ester-C® and commercially available ascorbic acid tablets with respect to the absorption and urinary excretion of vitamin C. Neutralized with calcium, it should be less acidic, but that doesn't mean it won't upset your stomach. Ester-C® also is not the same thing as ascorbyl palmitate, which is marketed as " vitamin C ester. " ston CS, Luo B.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 hit the wrong button so two replies, one blank. Thanks for the correction Chuck, Juat goes to show how misleading a Trademark can be; being chemically trained, one assumes that trademarks reflect some aspect of the truth ...in this case, it's the C and not the Ester. The Ascorbyl Palmitate also contains calcium phosphate that acts as an inert carrier/filler, unlike the 'salt' of calcium ascorbate contained within the euphemism <> Ester-C <>. best wishes Bob > > Holland and Barrett ought to stock it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
