Ester-C
American Health Ester-C is a vitamin C supplement categorized under Joint & Bone, specifically as an 'Other Combinations' type. This product contains a total of 3 ingredients, with full label transparency. It provides 1000mg of Vitamin C, which research suggests is a clinically studied dose for various applications, alongside 110mg of Calcium and 200mg of Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex. However, the Calcium dosage is noted as underdosed for typical bone health support. The product received an N+ Score of 58, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average overall quality and effectiveness assessment, primarily due to its limited formula completeness. This supplement may be suitable for individuals primarily seeking a high dose of Vitamin C with added bioflavonoids, rather than comprehensive joint or bone support.
