Ester C is a non acidic, stomach and tooth friendly vitamin C. Ester C is absorbed into the blood stream faster and is held in the body longer than ordinary vitamin C, improving its effectiveness.
Vitamin C plays a very crucial role in the maintenance of our immune system. It is involved in the proper functioning of white blood cells and antibodies.
The formula also provides Vitamin D3 and Echinacea for extra immunity support. Approximately 32% of New Zealand adults have low Vitamin D levels*. Vitamin D3 is the active Vitamin D form, providing not just immune support, but also researched bone, joint and skin health benefits
Scientific findings have confirmed echinacea's effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of mild upper respiratory infections such as the common cold. This formulation uses Echinacea purpurea, believed to be the most potent echinacea species for the prevention and treatment of mild upper respiratory infections.
Echinacea boost the immune system by increasing the number of white blood cells to defend the body against foreign bacteria and viruses. Echinacea also stimulates the phagocytes to engulf and digest bacteria and other foreign microorganisms.
