Ester-C was developed in the early 1970s by an Arizona physician who recognized the value of this unique, non-acidic form of vitamin C to health and well-being. A program of in-depth research into the chemical structure and composition resulted in the issuance of a new product patent (#4,822,816) covering compositions and methods for administering vitamin C. During the exclusive, water based manufacturing process, it was discovered that some of the vitamin C in Ester-C ascorbate undergoes changes similar to those occurring in the body’s normal metabolism of the vitamin to produce vitamin C metabolites, such as threonate. Numerous clinical bio-availability and laboratory studies by independent researchers and scientists in the United States have shown that vitamin C metabolites enhance the concentration of vitamin C in the body’s cells. Clinical studies by veterinarians in Europe and the U.S. also have demonstrated that supplemental Ester-C may counter many of the effects of aging, husb
