Why Ester C®
A technological breakthrough in a more stable form of Vitamin C
Rejuvenates
anti-aging and anti-wrinkle
Most of the Vitamin C used in topical products are very unstable. They have a
shelf life of no more than 30 days and become ineffective after that. Ester C®
on the other hand has a shelf life of more than 2 years.
This is proven by scientists at Inter-cal who pioneered laboratory and analytical methods to gauge the stability of
Vitamin C liquids, topical and cosmetics. Extensive accelerated test revealed the remarkable long shelf life of Ester C
topicals and the surprisingly short shelf life of ordinary Victamin C. Please see chart below:
A number of human and animal studies have explored the absorption and physiological effects of Ester-C mineral ascorbates in
comparison to normal vitamin C. These studies have yielded exciting new information about the nature of Vitamin C and its
metabolites.
A more focused study of Ester-C's effectiveness was performed recently by Dr. Howard Hunt, Professor Emeritus of the University
of California San Diego, and Dr. Thomas Rice of the Life Management Group with a group of men enrolled in a corporate fitness
program. They wished to see if Ester-C would significantly increase tissue levels of vitamin C in infection-fighting and immunological
cells, as measured by uptake of ascorbate into the white blood cells.
Hunt and Rice discovered that, with time, the ascorbate from all supplements steadily accumulated in white cells, but that Ester-C
ascorbate and the Ester-C with added threonate reached levels of 300 percent and more than 400 percent, respectively, above the final
baseline level attained with ordinary ascorbic acid. They concluded that Ester-C calcium ascorbate/threonate complex
provided a superior way to build vitamin C reserves in the important immunocompetent cells of the blood, even using modest levels
(one gram) of supplementation.
At present, the weight of evidence concerning the bioavailability of Ester-C seems to indicate it is different from that of normal vitamin C.
It appears to benefit from the presence of the threonate and other vitamin C metabolites which help improve its absorption and tissue uptake.
Dr. Verlangieri's work on the influence of threonate on the absorption of vitamin C metabolite which is present in Ester-C enhances
absorption.
Finallly, Vitamin C supplementation has been shown to promote capillary health, maintain healthy collagen, provide
increased antioxidant protection and immunity, enhance normal development and maintenance of bones, cartilage and teeth, promote wound healing
and provide vital support to amino acid function within the body.
