Vitakruid Ester-C Vitamin C 1000 Flavonoids Rosehip

Vitakruid Ester-C Vitamin C 1000 Flavonoids Rosehip
The deacidified form of vitamin C
Ascorbic acid is by far the most well-known form of vitamin C. It is also the variant that naturally occurs in our food. Oranges, broccoli, and apples; the vitamin C in these foods is all classified under the name ascorbic acid.

Calcium ascorbate bound to threonine
Nevertheless, this is a form that we classify as acidic, which means that supplementation in high doses can result in stomach and intestinal discomfort. For a high vitamin C need, Ester C 1000 is a better option. Ester C is calcium ascorbate bound to threonine; it is deacidified and therefore extremely friendly to the stomach and intestines!

Ester-C® is a patented form
Patented means that other developers cannot just develop a calcium ascorbate bound to threonine. The binding to threonine adds value within this compound, as it is a so-called vitamin C metabolite. Our body naturally converts vitamin C into metabolites, but during this process, a large part of the resistance vitamin is lost. By binding calcium ascorbate to a metabolite, our body absorbs vitamin C directly, without having to go through wasteful processes. Threonine also has the property of mobilizing vitamin C from body reserves, giving Ester-C a dual advantage over other ascorbates!

Citrus bioflavonoids for better absorption of vitamin C
Bioflavonoids are plant nutrients also known as vitamin P. Citrus bioflavonoids can be found, among other places, in the soft white part under the skin of the citrus fruit. Unfortunately, during cooking, vitamin P disappears from our food by 70 to as much as 90 percent. Therefore, supplementation is far from an unnecessary luxury.

Research also shows that vitamin P ensures a 35 percent better absorption of vitamin C. Citrus bioflavonoids also ensure a slower absorption of ascorbic acid and a reduced excretion via urine. Better absorption and higher bioavailability were the pillars for adding vitamin P to the Ester-C supplement!

Rosehip extract
Rosehip is the fruit of our well-known love flower: the rose. Rosehip already contains vitamin C on its own, and for this extract, it amounts to as much as 45 percent.
