Humans cannot manufacture vitamin C and so it is essential to consume vitamin C-rich foods to support the body’s daily requirements for vitamin C. Vitamin C plays an integral role in immune support. Numerous studies have shown that vitamin C may play a role in supporting immune defences, as it is vital for the functioning of white blood cells **[Ester-C®](https://solgar.co.uk/products/ester-c-plus-immune-complex-softgels-pack-of-60 "Ester-C® plus complex softgels")** is a trademarked form of vitamin C and is made using a water-based process that produces a chemical-free vitamin C.  It is non-acidic, well-absorbed and gentle on the stomach. It contains calcium ascorbate and also its metabolites. These metabolites are thought to support the bioavailability of vitamin C as well as how long it is retained in white blood cells.  Ester-C is the only vitamin C scientifically shown to be retained by the body for twenty-four hours providing around-the-clock immune support.
