Ester-C Vitamin C 1000 mg, 90 Coated Tablets

I am 72 years old and have had sharp pains in my knees for quite a few years when going down stairs, and lately have been developing some of the pains of developing arthritis. My friend suggested taking 2000 MG of this supplement for 10 days and then 1500 MG after that. So, I decided to take her advice and try it. I swear, after the 10 days, there was no more pain in my knees. One night I took a full 2-gallon watering can and a 1 gallon bottle of water downstairs at the same time and held on to the railings anticipating pains in my knees - there was no pain!! Since then, there has been no pain in my knees and they feel stronger. I later found out with some research that Ester-C helps to build joint tissue and can help to reduce the pain of arthritis. This seems to hold true since the stiffness in my finger has lessened since I have started using this supplement. I take a few supplements, but I have honestly not come across any other supplement that showed any results so quickly. I am a believer in this one, and it is good for much more than the immune system. The only downside I can think of is the size of the pill. It's huge, and it sometimes takes me a couple of tries to swallow it. I am also giving this supplement to my 98-year-old mother, but for her, we crush it and add it to her supplement cocktail. UPDATE 11/24/18: I have been taking Ester-C for 2 months, and the pain in my knees is completely gone as well as the shakiness I used to have in my knees when I went down stairs. I have also noticed that my finger joints are no longer locked when I get up in the morning, and the sharp pains I had in one of my fingers has not been happening. I can't say that this supplement helps with arthritis, but I have definitely had some improvement with joint pain and locking of finger joints. UPDATE 10/18/19: I have been taking Ester-C for a little over a year, and the benefits described above are still evident. Although i still use this supplement for my 99 year old mother who gets it pulverized in a vitamin supplement, I had a hard time swallowing the huge pills. So, I found another brand that still provides 1000 mg but in a capsule. The capsule works as well for me, but I don't gag trying to swallow it. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update the review if my opinion changes.

Ah, the in-law recommendation. The gift you didn't ask for but weirdly can't argue with. And honestly? They nailed it this time. The big selling point here is the "no neon pee" situation. Regular vitamin C basically waves goodbye to your body the second it arrives, turning your toilet bowl into a highlighter test. Ester-C uses naturally occurring metabolites that help your white blood cells actually hold onto the vitamin C longer than a regular supplement would. So yes, the clear pee thing isn't just a fun party trick. It's a legitimate sign your body's doing something useful with it. Amazon Clinical studies back this up too, showing Ester-C can stay in your immune system up to twice as long as regular vitamin C, and one tablet a day is all you need for 24-hour coverage. Once a day. Done. No fumbling with three doses or setting alarms. The formula is also non-acidic thanks to a chemical-free manufacturing process, so it's genuinely gentle on the stomach, which is a win if regular vitamin C has ever made you feel like you swallowed a small sun. The only mild gripe? It's pricier than a generic ascorbic acid tablet. But if your body's actually absorbing the thing instead of flushing it straight out, you're arguably getting more value per pill anyway. Bottom line: the in-laws were right, and you'll have to find a way to live with that. Great supplement, boring side effects, solid immune support. Take it, don't overthink it.

I love Ester-C vitamins I have used this for over 10 years . It's helped my immune system and I've managed to be healthier because I use Ester-C. I can tell it's doing the work of boosting my immune system. I recommend this great vitamin C. Easy to swallow and this vitamin C doesn't upset my stomach. Great product.

These are a staple in my household. Any time I am going somewhere I may be exposures to sickness, find out I have been exposed, or starting to feel like I may be getting sick I use this as part of my wellness protocol. While I have no way to scientifically prove it, I believe these have helped my body ward of a multitude of illness. Definitely something to keep in your cabinet and use daily.

I can't say how well they work. But they don't taste like vitamin c, that doesn't mean they're not, it just doesn't taste like it. They don't have any smell. They does taste sweet at all and there doesn't appear to be any sugar in them. It says take with a meal so I assume it could cause stomach upset. But the pills are so big. It is really hard to swallow them. I broke it in half and tried to swallow it and couldn't do it. And I can take several pills at one time when I take my vitamins in the morning. So that's saying something. I believe they can be chewed and so that's what I'm going to do from now on. They don't taste good but they don't taste. Absolutely horrible and they don't burn your mouth or anything.

My go to Vitamin C. The tablets are large, but easy to swallow. No bad taste as long as you take them quickly.

Good vitamin C. Easy on stomach but large pills

Walgreens near me no longer carries these, glad to find these online, better price to boot.

Very effective vitamin, I am using since Corona

Good

Love that this is not acidic. We take this everyday!

ماناسبني شراء الادويه بسبب وصولها حاره جدا مما يدل على سوء التخزين. حرص عليهم ان احتجته انهم يحافظون على طريقة تخزينه وتوصيله وبالشفاء.
