David - Ester-C is fine but a buffered C would work just as well and cost alot 
less.  It too is gentle on the stomach.

Cheers.

  RE:   VITAMIN C           I would SO encourage anyone using or contemplating
  vitamin C  to automatically think only of Ester-C !!!  I have had BIG success
  for years with BBIIGG doses/frequently of vitamin-c for that "I think I are 
gettin
  a cold" feeling. BUT, with the regular c, along with success at steaming the 
cold, etc,
  I would always get quite uncomfortable goins on in the stomach/intestines.
  Switching to Ester-C, for me, was dramatic!!!!  Not a trace of stomach 
problems
  and if anything, better results fighting the bug.
  I use Puritan's Pride [no financial intrst.] ester-c 500mg caps/ their prod 
#2263.
  If I feel a bug or even think there may have been bugs flyin around on my 
school
  bus = head for the ester-c. 5 at a time, every couple hours or more. Why 5 at 
a time??
  That's what seems to fall out of the bottle and be comfortable for my 
mouth/throat
  capacity...... Wouldnt hesitate to take 6 or more at a time, were my mouth as 
big as
  most people seem to think it is.  Ester-c is a bit more $, but hugely worth 
it for me.
