ESTER C ®





 

  • A highly concentrated and readily available form of vitamin C recognized as a key anti-oxidant.
  • Use as a dietary supplement in horses with conditions associated with DJD, pulmonary infections and stress related conditions.
  • Unique patented formula is bonded with calcium carbonate making it more readily absorbed.
  • Ester-C is a patented ascorbate supplement that contains calcium ascorbate, rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, cross cell membranes more efficiently, and to reach higher cellular levels and be excreted more slowly than ordinary vitamin C.

 

Vitamin C is involved in a number of bio-chemical processes, most importantly the body needs Vitamin C to grow, maintain, and repair structural tissues.

Vitamin C has shown to have an integral role in production of specific proteins, like collagen, and other structural elements of connective tissues.

The anti-oxidative qualities of Vitamin C also limit the deterioration of connective tissues by free radicals.

Various types of stress can apparently increase the animals’ need for vitamin C while decreasing their ability to synthesize it.

Ester-C provides greater levels of intracellular ascorbate and helps increase compression resistance of cartilage, it mobilizes white blood cells to the location of the inflammation and enhances prostaglandin synthesis. In 1992, clinical trials to assess and quantify the effects of Ester-C calcium ascorbate on Degenerative Joint Disease in horses were begun. Over an 18-month period, horses diagnosed with a variety of DJD conditions exhibiting moderate to severe lameness were given oral Ester-C.


  • 4 times more absorbable than vitamin C
  • Natural pH will not cause stomach upset
  • Receive the benefits of vitamin C without side effects.
