Does not have unpleasant side effects on the stomach like some other vitamin tablets. And it is good support for the immune system. I am an asthma patient and exercise regularly. Since using this product, I feel that exercising goes better, but especially that recovery is quicker.
Never had a bad experience.
Have been using this product for yearsTo full satisfaction!
Swallows easily. No stomach issues with this acid-free vitamin C.
Easy to take and I hardly ever get (***), since I started taking this daily.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient. We use this vitamin throughout our body, from the immune system to the nervous system, and from the skin to energy metabolism.
Our body cannot produce vitamin C itself; we need to ensure we get enough through our diet. You can also take vitamin C as a supplement.
Solgar Ester-C® Plus is a special vitamin C. This patented form is non-acidic, quickly active, and remains in the body for a long time. With 'ordinary' vitamins like l-ascorbic acid, the nutrient is first converted into active forms. With Ester-C, this is not necessary.
Solgar Ester-C® Plus already contains converted forms, supplemented with natural bioflavonoids from citrus, acerola, and rosehip.
- The most effective form of vitamin C
- Contains 500 mg of non-acidic vitamin C per plant-based capsule
- With metabolites (L-threonic acid, L-lyonine acid, and L-xylonine acid)
- Absorbed twice as fast as ordinary vitamin C
- Remains in tissues twice as long as ordinary vitamin C
- With rutin and bioflavonoids from citrus, acerola cherries, and rosehip
- The dark glass packaging provides the most optimal protection against the influence of oxygen, moisture, and light

Dear Sir/Madam, Are these capsules large? I always struggle with swallowing large capsules.
On 29 november 2024 by Customer serviceThe capsules are indeed quite large. You can break these tablets in half or crush them. If this doesn't work, you might consider Ester-C® Plus Effervescent Drink (Solgar) or Ester-C 575 mg + bioflavonoids powder (Springfield). You dissolve these powders in water.
Hello, may I open these capsules? I'm not very good at swallowing large capsules. If so, can I mix them with yoghurt? Regards, Marianne
On 18 january 2021 by Customer serviceYes, the capsules can be opened. We recommend mixing it with a single spoonful rather than the entire yoghurt, due to potential taste considerations.
Am I correct in understanding that you need a lower dosage of this vitamin C compared to 'ordinary' vitamin C because it is absorbed better?
On 06 february 2020 by Customer serviceYes, that is correct! Ester-C has a higher effectiveness and a longer duration of action in the body than ordinary vitamin C or ascorbic acid.
When you take 500 mg of Ester-C, it is roughly equivalent to taking 1000 mg of vitamin C.
Is this form of vitamin C, including the excipients used, suitable for use during pregnancy?
On 14 october 2019 by Customer serviceYes, Ester-C, the bioflavonoids, and the excipients used are suitable for use during pregnancy in these amounts. Even 4 capsules per day is not a problem (thus a total of 2000 mg of vitamin C spread throughout the day), although the recommended dosage for daily use is 1 per day.
I read on the website of the association for critical vaccination that for every month a baby is old, you may give 100 grams of vitamin C per day. So at 10 months, that's 1000 mg per day. With ester C (better absorbed), it's half. However, your guidelines state a maximum of 400 mg per day for a three-year-old. What is the current situation?
On 07 april 2019 by Customer serviceThe mentioned 400 and 650 mg were sourced from the Orthokennis website, which cites the Natural Medicines Database as its reference. At these dosages, the likelihood of unwanted side effects (particularly diarrhoea) is relatively low.
However, if it is temporary, for instance, a few days before and after a vaccination, and the dose is spread throughout the day (for example, 5 times a day 200 mg), then it is perfectly fine to administer a slightly higher dose, provided the child does not experience diarrhoea. If loose stools occur, reduce the dose and/or spread it more evenly throughout the day.
