Dr. B's paper mentions Ester-C as a good type of Vitamin C to take. Is anyone using this type of Vitamin C?

A bottle of NSI Ester-C (that I'm I'm looking at online reads) reads: Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate)(Ester-C�) 1.00 g (1,000.00 mg)...

I feel stupid asking this, but is this Vitamin C a form of calcium? Does this change how much Calcium I need to take? I usually take 1,000 mg of Calcium Citrate per day.

Thanks,
Jill

Hi Jill,

I'm also Jill.

The Natrol Ester C is what I take because Ester-C is much more gentle on the GI tract.

I really haven't let it influence my dosage of calcium, but I'll let others chime in on that.

Take care,
Jill

Sorry that I don't have a direct answer to your question.

If no one else responds you could try to gooogle ester C & the calcium connection.

I also have a sensitive tummy and although

I don't take ester C I like acid free Vit. C by powder

Kal. It's very concentrated. A tsp is equal to something like 2000mg C. I take a 1/4 tsp at a time.

Take care

I take Ester C, and 1200mg Calcium with D. Neither one influences the dosage of the other for me.
