Vitamin C 1000 mg Coated Tablets, Immune System Booster, Stomach-Friendly Supplement, 120 Count

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 have used Ester C for many years and I love it for the ability to not upset my stomach, but give me the daily does of Vitamin C I like to take. Caution- these pills are very large so if you have issues with swallowing larger pills, this is not the one for you, stick to the 500mg tablets.

The affordable vitamin C that doesn't bother my stomach!

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.

Everytime I feel like I’m getting sick or feeling a cold coming on, I take one of these and my symptoms are gone by next morning. This has worked EVERY single time I’ve used it for years. However it is a pretty big pill so its hard to swallow and doesn’t taste the best. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Miracle Vitamin C!!

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.

This is the best Vitamin C tablet out there. To the people who whine about the size of the vitamin GIVE ME A BREAK, cut the darn vitamin in half, it is one of the highest rated based on quality, no stomach issues,consistency etc... Simple resolution to a simple issue.

So far so good every one at work got sick but ME..

Very effective vitamin, I am using since Corona

Good

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