Ester-C® is a buffered (gentle on the stomach) form of vitamin C, enriched with natural metabolites (L-threonic, L-lyxonic and L-xylonic acid). According to the manufacturer, this form is absorbed and remains in circulation differently compared to regular ascorbic acid vitamin C, however such comparative claims are not officially approved health claims at EU level under Regulation (EC) 1924/2006.
The complex of citric bioflavonoids, acerola, wild rosehip fruits and rutin are plant components that do not currently have an approved health claim from the EFSA, so they are presented here as components of the composition.
