Ester-C Plus 900 mg, 180 tablets

Calcium ascorbate is a water-soluble stable form of ascorbic acid (a chelated compound of ascorbic acid and calcium). Calcium in the presence of vitamin C is better absorbed by the body. A milder form of ascorbic acid is approved for use by people with high acidity and sensitive skin. It irritates the mucous membrane of the esophagus and skin less, but at the same time retains all the beneficial properties of the vitamin, and is not dangerous to health.

Properties of vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate:

• Does not irritate the mucous membrane
• Participation in the synthesis of intracellular collagen, proteoglycans and other organic components of the intercellular substance of teeth, bones and capillary endothelium;
• Activates the synthesis of steroid hormones, norepinephrine and adrenaline.
• Participates in the synthesis of carnitine, hydroxylation of serotonin;
• It detoxifies toxins and has an antioxidant effect by trapping free radicals.;
• It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect;
• It inhibits the release of histamine and increases its degeneration, suppresses the release of inflammatory mediators and allergic reactions;
• Participates in the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid and tissue regeneration;
• Participates in the metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine, norepinephrine, histamine, utilization of carbohydrates, protein synthesis, enhances the absorption of non-heme iron.
• It suppresses the activity of hyaluronidase (activates tissue regeneration and normalizes capillary permeability), participates in iron metabolism (improves iron absorption, contributing to its deposition in a reduced form) and glucose (improves the use of glucose in the tricarboxylic acid cycle);
• Regulates the transport of hydrogen ions in many biochemical reactions, being involved in the process at any stage of the Krebs cycle.;
• Reduces the body's need for vitamins A, B1, B2 and E, folic acid, pantothenic acid;
• It helps to increase the body's resistance to infections, regulates immunological reactions (activates the synthesis of antibodies, the C3 component of complement, interferon), enhances phagocytic activity;
• Participates in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting;
• Activates proteolytic enzymes, participates in the metabolism of aromatic amino acids, pigments and cholesterol, promotes the accumulation of glycogen in the liver. Due to the activation of respiratory enzymes in the liver, it enhances its detoxification and protein-educational functions, increases the synthesis of prothrombin.
• Improves bile secretion, restores the external secretory function of the pancreas and the endocrine function of the thyroid gland.
