Sisu Ester-C Chewable 500mg
Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant and one of the best researched nutrients.* Most mammals can produce vitamin C as they need it, but the human system evolved without this ability so we must ensure an adequate daily intake to stay healthy.* Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables, but it is easily destroyed by heat, cooking, processing, and storage, and rapidly eliminated from our system in the urine.* Inadequate levels of vitamin C may be seen in cases of physical and mental stress, older people and those with chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, asthma, arthritis, age-related eye disease, and certain cancers.* Vitamin C is best referred to for strengthening the immune system by supporting and improving white blood cell function.* It is also essential for the proper formation of collagen, the building block of many tissues and a crucial component in skin rejuvenation.* Vitamin C also helps to reduce histamine release in the body, thereby alleviating allergy symptoms.* There are numerous forms of vitamin C with ascorbic acid being the most basic.* People wanting a clinically proven form that is easier on the system than ascorbic acid may choose a form like Ester-C brand calcium ascorbate.*
