Ester-C® is a gentle, highly absorbable form of Vitamin C with long-lasting effects. Thanks to its combination with L-Threonate, it stays active in your immune cells for up to 24 hours—while being extra kind to your stomach.

How much Ester-C® should you take?

The ideal amount depends on your personal needs—often, 500 mg of Vitamin C per day (for example, 1 capsule of BIOGENA Ester-C® Gold) is a solid starting point.If your needs increase, you can adjust the dosage accordingly—just be sure to consult a trusted health professional for guidance.

Is Ester-C® better than regular vitamin C?

Ester-C® offers your body more than standard Vitamin C forms: it’s gentle on the stomach, easier to tolerate, and thanks to L-Threonate, it stays active in your immune cells longer—delivering a smart, all-around Vitamin C supply with 24-hour support.

How is Ester-C® made?

Ester-C® is produced through a unique, patented process that transforms regular ascorbic acid into a buffered Vitamin C compound containing calcium L-ascorbate and the natural Vitamin C metabolite L-Threonate—resulting in a highly tolerable and long-lasting form of Vitamin C.

Is Ester-C® the same as vitamin C?

Ester-C® is vitamin C—but in a gentler, better-tolerated form. Unlike regular ascorbic acid, Ester-C® also contains calcium and L-Threonate, which enhance absorption and provide a full 24-hour effect within your immune cells.

What does the term “pure substance principle” mean?

At BIOGENA, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).

Where can I buy BIOGENA preparations?

BIOGENA cooperates with respected physicians and therapists in many different countries. With them, you are in good hands. You can also buy our products from our BIOGENA stores in Austria (Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, Graz, Natternbach), Germany (Freilassing, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Munich, Hamburg) and soon in London (UK) as well as online at www.biogena.com.
