As the days grow shorter and cooler, you might want to arm yourself against winter’s grip with some steadfast immune support.

The best way to stay healthy especially while those around you succumb to winter ills and chills is by supporting your immune system with essential nutrients.
 
Vitamin C can aid your resistance to ills and chills, and also assist your recovery following illness or injury.

BATS, GUINEA PIGS AND PEOPLE!
What do human beings, fruit bats and guinea pigs share in common? At first glance, nothing, but in fact these are the only species who are unable to manufacture their own Vitamin C, and need to obtain all their Vitamin C from their diet.
 
How much Vitamin C you need can vary dramatically, depending on your state of health and stress levels.
 
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 that they get plenty of Vitamin C in their diet from fresh fruits and vegetables, and perhaps supplemental Vitamin C.

THE ESTER-C DIFFERENCE
With winter fast looming, you might want a Vitamin C supplement, but the choices can be confusing.
 
Today however, Nutra Life’s Ester-C® is the obvious choice when you are seeking the best Vitamin C for your body.

Made using a patented water-based manufacturing process, studies on Ester-C show that this non-acidic form of Vitamin C performs more effectively in helping to support and maintain your natural immunity for up to 24 hours following each dose.

THE BETTER VITAMIN C – ABOSORBED TWICE AS FAST
One of the difficulties with supplementing with Vitamin C is that this water-soluble vitamin is quickly flushed from the body by the kidneys and high doses may cause stomach upsets in some people.

That’s why Vitamin C has always been taken in small frequent doses.
As the studies show, however, Nutra Life’s Ester-C is absorbed twice as quickly as regular Vitamin C and stays in the body’s cells for 24 hours.

NON-ACIDIC AND GENTLE ON STOMACH
Many people find that they just can’t tolerate Vitamin C supplements in the form of ascorbic acid, which causes indigestion and heartburn.
 
In these cases, Ester-C is the perfect solution with its non-acidic, gentle-on-the-stomach properties.
 
You can choose from Ester-C 1000mg plus Bioflavonoids tablets, or Ester-C Echinacea chewable tablets. Echinacea is a time-tested herb, which like Vitamin C also helps maintain a healthy immune system.
