We’ve all grown up knowing the benefits of Vitamin C, but getting enough of it can be a challenge, especially over winter when we need it most.


Vitamin C is an essential winter nutrient, known to support your immune system and help fight ills and chills. It also helps maintain healthy eyes, skin, teeth and bone, assisting the growth, development and repair of all body tissues.

But as humans, we’re unable to manufacture vitamin C within our own bodies, having to get it from the foods we eat instead. Fruits and vegetables are the best source of vitamin C, but in winter, when we need them most, we tend to eat less vitamin C-rich foods.

HOW MUCH C DO YOU NEED?
Stress increases your need for vitamin C, as does infection and recovery from surgery. Cigarette smoking destroys vitamin C in the body, so smokers need to ensure they get plenty of vitamin C in their diet.

But even with a good diet or the help of a supplement, vitamin C is flushed from the body very quickly. Often after just two hours, all that vitamin C we took is gone!

THE ESTER-C® DIFFERENCE
Nutra Life Ester-C is a vitamin C supplement with an important difference. It is the only vitamin C that has undergone a patented water-based process so it’s absorbed twice as fast as regular vitamin C, and stays in the body’s cells for a
full 24 hours.

So while normal vitamin C has faded away, Ester-C is still there providing immune support all day long.

BETTER THAN STANDARD VITAMIN C
As well as offering 24-hour support, Ester-C is easier on the stomach.
Normal vitamin C is acidic, potentially causing stomach discomfort in people sensitive to stomach acid.

With Ester-C, the water-based system defuses acidity making it more gentle on the stomach than regular vitamin C.

ESTER-C BENEFITS
  • Supports a strong immune system
  • Provides full 24-hour support
  • Absorbed twice as fast as normal vitamin C
  • Non-acidic and gentle on teeth and the stomach
  • Powerful antioxidant properties.

TABLETS OR CHEWABLES
Ester-C is available in 1000mg+ bioflavonoid tablets, or as Ester-C Chewables, and Ester-C + Echinacea Chewables. Echinacea is a time-tested herb, which like vitamin C also helps maintain a healthy immune system.





Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional. TAPS DA817RS 3041
