James Balch has some good information regarding Ester-C in his book

" Prescription for Nutritional Healing. "

 

This is a great reference for both vitamins and herbs.

He says and I quote:

 

" Esterified vitamin C is a remarkably effective form of vitamin C,

especially for those whoe are suffering from chronic disease such as

cancer and AIDS. It is created by having the vitamin C react with a

necessary mineral, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, or

zinc. "

 

" This results in a form of the vitamin that is non-acidic and that

contains vitamin C metabolites identical to those produced by the

body.

 

Esterified vitamin C enters the bloodstream and tissues four times

faster than *standard* vitamin C, moves into the blood cells more

efficiently, and also stays in the body tissue longer. "

 

" he levels of vitamin C in white blood cells achieved by taking

esterified vitamin C are four times higher than those achieved with

standard vitamin C.

Furthermore, only one-third as much is lost through

excretion in the urine.

 

Natrol produces supplements of Ester-C in combination with other

valuable nutrients; one with the antioxidants Pycnogenol and

proanthocyanidins, another with the herb echinacea, and still another

with garlic. "

 

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron. New evidence indicates

that vitamin C works synergistically with vitamin E --that is when

these vitamins work together, they have a greater effect than when

they work separately. Vitamin E scavenges for dangerous free radicals

in cell membranes, while vitamin C attacks free radicals in biologic

fluids. These vitamins reinforce and extend each other's antioxidant

activity. "

 

If aspirin and standard vitamin C are taken together in large doses,

stomach irritation can occur, possibly leading to ulcers. "
