Well gee Chuck, 2 in 1 posting.
Being new to MSM other than in capsule form, I spent some time
trying to see what I could learn about MSM when all I did was pop
a half dozen pills a day for sore joints.
Which reminds me of a health tip I once heard, it went something
like this.
" Mothers,do you get stiff in the joints?
Well stay out of those joints !! :-)
What I learned about MSM is that what can be bought in
feed stores is seldom USP grade so a little further looking
came up with a version that I felt safe in taking.
As for Ester-C, what I learned recently convinced me to
spend the extra money -- there really is a difference.
This I quickly found with Google's help:
Ester-C® is patented, non-acidic vitamin C and its metabolites. It does
not cause the stomach and digestive problems of ordinary vitamin C. Ester-C
is different from ordinary or buffered vitamin C because:
It is processed in purified water instead of solvents which makes it a
purer form of vitamin C;
It contains calcium threonate, which makes this form of vitamin C four
times more bio available than other forms of vitamin C.
ADVANTAGES OF ESTER-C®
* Several hours after taking Ester-C, the vitamin C concentration in the
blood is twice as high as it would be after taking buffered or regular
vitamin-C;
* The loss of vitamin C via urine after taking Ester C is six times lower
than after taking ordinary vitamin C;
* Ester-C is the only form of vitamin C that does not cause digestive
problems, not even when using large amounts;
* Ester-C is the only form of vitamin C that does not affect tooth
enamel. Ordinary vitamin C, especially the popular "chewable form" is very
bad for teeth and should be strongly discouraged.
In summary, in comparison with ordinary vitamin C, Ester-C is much better
taken up by the body, stays in the body longer, and is used more efficiently
by cells and connective tissues. Furthermore it does not cause the digestive
problems of traditional vitamin C and it does not affect tooth enamel.
