Vitamin C is a real multitasker. It supports your immune system, contributes to your energy levels and helps with the formation of collagen – important for your skin, bones and cartilage. It also promotes the absorption of iron from food and helps protect your cells against harmful external influences. You can find vitamin C mainly in fruit and vegetables, and you can top this up with a vitamin C supplement if needed.

Ascorbic acid is the best-known and purest form of vitamin C. However, for some people it can be a little too acidic. Ester-C® is a patented, gentle alternative based on calcium ascorbate. The key difference? Ester-C® is absorbed more quickly, remains active in the body for longer én is kinder to your stomach. Ideal if you’re sensitive to the acidic form or looking for extra support.

Bioflavonoids are natural plant compounds that often occur alongside vitamin C in fruit, such as citrus fruits. In supplements, they help improve the absorption of vitamin C. A smart combination, especially if you’re aiming for optimal effectiveness.

Absolutely! If your stomach is sensitive, it’s best to choose a ‘de-acidified’ or buffered form of vitamin C. Think of ascorbate or Ester-C®. These forms are gentler on your stomach and are often better tolerated – even at higher doses.

Yes, vitamin C helps to reduce fatigue and supports your energy levels. Especially during busy periods, or when your immune system could use a little extra support, getting enough vitamin C is important. Your body doesn’t produce it itself and doesn’t store it either – so you’ll want to get vitamin C every day, for example by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables.
