Q.I've heard that vitamin C can be tough on the stomach. Is this true?
A.Vitamin C is also known as "ascorbic ACID" for a reason because it is acidic and difficult to take for many individuals. Many people stop taking vitamin C because it is so tough on the stomach. Ester-C is non-acidic; it is well-suited for acid-sensitive and non-acid-sensitive individuals. In fact, it is easy on the stomach regardless of the situation or age.
Q.What is so special about Ester-C?
A.It has good clinical research and is the easiest form of vitamin C to take because it is non-acidic. The company is also completely committed to clinical studies.
Q.I typically take vitamin C during the winter when I feel rundown. Is this enough?
A.Vitamin C is just as important during the spring and summer as it is during the fall and winter. Some of the simplest things can challenge your immune system. For example, common factors are (in alphabetical order):
Alcohol
Diet that is low in important vitamins and minerals
Excessive body weight
Lack of or too much Exercise/Physical activity
Sleep (a lack of)
Smoke/smoking (even second-hand smoke)
Stress (not just physical but mental stress)
These are just some of the more common factors and I have never met anyone that was not impacted by one or more of these throughout the year.
Q.What is the best way to stay healthy whole year ?
A.The goal is to support your immune system. Time tested methods are effective: stay at home, rest, eat healthy foods and drink plenty of fluid. I would add to this list of suggestions that you supplement your diet with a quality vitamin C to support your immune system to help keep you healthy all year-round.
Q.Why is vitamin C good for the skin?
A.All the cells of your body require vitamin C to make connective tissue and carry out other essential life processes. In addition, the skin - as the first line of defense against many environmental assaults - uses up a lot of this vitamin as it protects the skin's layers from damage by sun, smoke, and aging. Older skin, in particular, may not get enough vitamin C from the body's internal blood supply
Q.How does it act as an antioxidant?
A.Inside the cells, vitamin C becomes an important means of maintaining the "reducing state" required to protect against oxidation. In the body, it rejuvenates several other essential molecules - including vitamin E, the important fat-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin C serves as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals. These are highly reactive chemical species that are generated in cells and tissues by sunlight, tobacco smoke, and also many seemingly normal metabolic processes that involve oxygen from the atmosphere.
Q.Should I also take a vitamin supplement?
A.Yes. Taking vitamin C orally helps your skin from the inside out. Vitamin supplements containing patented Ester-C® mineral ascorbates are gentle on the stomach and readily absorbed.
