That is because Ester C is the calcium form (which is coolingto the body) rather than the sodium form, which is heating. Heating substances will cause diarrhea and other disturbances if taken in too high quantities. You don't need top buy the Ester C brand. I buy a large bottle (254 grams) of the powder from Wholesale Nutrition, for about 15.00 Sally

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.
