What is Ester-C and how does it differ from ordinary Vitamin C?
When Vitamin C is metabolised in the body, it breaks down into secondary compounds called metabolites. Scientific studies show that Threonic Acid, one of these metabolites, is responsible for the differences between ordinary Vitamin C and Ester-C, including its high bioavailability and its ability to provide a full 24 hours of immune support, compared with the 2 hours of ordinary Vitamin C.
Why is Ester-C described as “stomachfriendly”?
Ordinary Vitamin C is acidic (its scientific name is “ascorbic acid”), which means that it may cause gastro-intestinal irritation in some people. The unique water-based process that Ester-C undergoes, however, makes it non-acidic. This means that it can be gentler on the stomach than ordinary Vitamin C.
What are Citrus Bioflavonoids, and why does this product contain them?

The Citrus Bioflavonoids in Nutra-Life Ester-C 1500mg + Bioflavonoids help to increase the absorption and effect of the Vitamin C, and provide extra antioxidant activity.

Why is Vitamin D3 important for a healthy immune system?
