Ester C is Not Recommended

© Copyright Bee Wilder

Ester C (vitamin C) is not just ascorbic acid or they wouldn't be able to patent it.

Patented Scam

. . . Ester-C chemically is not an ester but a costly degraded mix of oxidized vitamin C. From their website: All of the ..."studies are considered to be pilot or preliminary, and although the results suggest a positive result, further studies are necessary [but not for sales] to verify these conclusions."

Eleven years after the patent the largest reported trial involved only 54 people during 1 day! Such practices based on deceptive research give the vitamin industry a bad name, yet their very friendly watch dog, the Council for Responsible Nutrition, refuses to bite this industry-wide profitable scam.

This watch dog - with 4 PhDs on staff - knows who buys the dog food. They happily collect 0.1% of any member company's Ester-C sales. So much for "enhancing consumer confidence in dietary supplements". A deceptive name for a common lobby group [-however, they are vital to help keep vitamins legal and available –thank you]."...

Now Ester-C is "fatty acid ester free" ... Bonus! Shame on that industry already famous for price-fixing (and making good multi's hard to find on store shelves) and which refuses to self-police and weed out supplement scams.

Ascorbic acid crystals are much cheaper and have a long history of proven effectiveness, whereas Ester-C has not been.
