Product Description
Viridian Ester-C 950mgHigh potency presentation of this highly effective, highly absorbable patented form of vitamin C. Ester-C is a neutral pH presentation of vitamin C, where the vitamin C is buffered to make it gentler on the stomach particularly where larger amounts are consumed.

Volunteers were generally impressed by the protection afforded them during the winter months. Clinical assessment has demonstrated that 2000mg of vitamin C per day for two weeks reduced blood histamine concentrations by 30-40% in adult subjects. Some evidence suggests that vitamin C may augment natural killer cell activity, which is important for the protection of tumour development. Research has shown that supplementation with the Ester-C calcium ascorbate/threonate complex provides an effective way to build vitamin C reserves in the important immuno-competent cells of the blood; even when modest doses (one gram) of ascorbate are used (Hunt & Rice, 1995).
ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION - vitamin C performs many functions that may offer protection against cancer, including acting as an antioxidant and protecting cellular structures, including DNA, from damage. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommended a daily vitamin C intake of 100 mg to 200 mg to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
