What is Ester C and bowel tolerance?
Ester C is a buffered form of Vitamin C, which is easier on the stomach than other C’s (ascorbic acid). If you decide to use Ester C or any of the other buffered form of C (calcium ascorbate or sodium ascorbate), you will be able to provide a much higher dosage than you would with ascorbic acid. If you are providing a buffered form of C, you might want to start out with 500 mg and increase the dosage (splitting the dosage to twice per day) until you determine the bowel tolerance. From that point, you can then determine how much C you want to offer per day. As you are upping the daily dosage of C and you notice that your dog’s stools are becoming a bit loose, then you have reached Bowel Tolerance. Any higher dosage will cause loose/watery stools, and even diarrhea. Vitamin C is an immune booster and can be given daily. You can also UP the amount of Vitamin C during times of stress.
