Ester-C Better Tolerated Than Vitamin C
June 26, 2006
PHOENIX—A double blind, placebo-controlled study from Zila Nutraceuticals Inc. (www.zilanutra.com) determined Ester-C causes significantly fewer gastric upsets and is better tolerated than regular vitamin C (Adv Ther®, 23, 1:171-8, 2006). Ester-C is a pH-neutral formulation of vitamin C, designed to inhibit gastric upsets, the primary complaint associated with vitamin C consumption.
“We have known for years that Ester-C should be better tolerated than regular vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid,” said Douglas D. Burkett, Ph.D., chairman, chief executive officer (CEO) and president of Zila (www.zila.com). “This being confirmed in a double blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study gives vitamin consumers a proven reason in addition to the other benefits to take Ester-C.”
