Best Supplement for Cold: Ester-C Vitamin C 1000 mg Coated Tablets, 120 Count, Immune System Booster, Stomach-Friendly Supplement, Gluten-Free

Likely The BEST C. Period.

I love this C. Whenever I'm directly in the path of a sneezing/coughing, clearly sick someone, I try to lower my odds for sharing that infection. What I take is Astragalus (ancient Chinese herb used as natural/organic antibiotic), and Ester-C. This is the preferred C. My "cocktail" to ward off the infection is 4 or five caps of the Ester-C, AND 4-5 caps of the Astragalus, morning, and about a half-hour before bed most importantly. I cannot recall last time I was sick so we're talking "years and years". And...this C is --easier on the stomach lining-- than most "raw" C of lesser manufacturing quality/methods. Is this combo responsible for my well being? Honestly, no clue. It all makes perfect sense to me, and I truly believe the two products work, and that may be all I need. Smile. I've read Linus Pauling's assertions from decades ago about C and the common Cold, were on the right track, just not enough to make a true difference. So doing 4-5 of these 1000mg tabs may seem overdone, but that's the key to it's efficacy in immune boost and knocking out an infection. Google C and infections/prevention. The Astragalus, I take, the partner in preventing/abbreviating sickness (IMO), is Paradise Herbs Astragalus Truly Holistic 12:1, Veggie Caps 60 ea. This Astagalus is 12:1 potency ratio, or each capsule in perhaps 4 or five times the potency of one lesser quality/prepared product. Want to REALLY go for broke? Add 3-4 droppers of SOVEREIGN SILVER Bio-Active Silver Hydrosol Immune Support. Colloidal silver is the preferred choice of nutritionists for empowering the immune system and stimulating the body's innate healing processes. It's clear, tasteless, and 2-3 droppers rolled down the tongue, along with Ester-C, AND Astagalus, and I feel you've got a real stunning cocktail of natural supplements that can actually make a real difference. All available for fast delivery here on Amazon at really impressive prices. Best Of Health, Ro

Quality Vitamin C

I usually take 1-2 of these every day, and up to 6 per day when I start to feel Cold symptoms coming on. These really kick out a Cold or flu virus quickly and they are easy on my stomach. I have been taking these for many years and never had any issues or side effects. The larger 1000 mg tablets are a little hard to swallow, so its best to take one with a piece of bread instead of trying to drink it down with a chug of water. The outer coating comes off quickly when in water, so once that happens it becomes chalky and difficult to swallow so down it quickly and don't get it lodged in your throat! They also come in smaller 500 mg pills that are easier to swallow. Overall a great Vitamin C

Taking one a day for over 5 years and at 76 years old I have not been sick more than 3 days.

My sister told me about Ester-C about 6 years ago and a friend of hers had told her about it because she was having Cold and sinus issues on a regular basis. She started taking Ester-C and within a few weeks she stopped having sinus problems and the Cold symtoms also went away within a couple of months and she only takes it now when she thinks she is feeling like a Cold may be coming on. I have been taking one a day for over 5 years and I have only been sick one time for 3 days and I think it could have been either the flu or food poisoning all I know is I felt terrible for a few days and that was it. I am 76 and take nothing but over the counter meds. No prescription medicine of any kind. Ester-C is a great product and I can highly recommend it along with Moringa Oleifera (4) capsules I take every morning

FIVE STARS!

This is the best vitamin C I drink because its good for my stomach. I had the stomach surgery and it is non acidic and it helps especially since I have a history of ulcers and anything I can do to help is better than taking a cheaper generic brand of vitamin C. Its smooth to take and it works. Also a tip that I found which is irrelivent but it works for me. I get Cold sores. But I don't have break outs any more and don't get them as I use to ALL the time. Maybe once every 3 years. When I feel one coming on. That tingling feeling. Take 1000 mg vitamin C in morning 1 1000mg Lysine and at night take 1000 mg of vitamin C and 1000mg Lysine. I know its a lot. Your body will extract it (don't forget to drink water) and watch youll feel the tingle a bit might see a bit red in the spot the soar will come out but it will never FULLY come out and show the world look at my face. It really works. I got other remedies that works great. Home remedies that I have tried on my own. I passed this to a friend of mine and tried it and couldn't believe it worked. Always keep vitamin c and Lysine on hand. Youll notice in the vitamin aisle lysine is always empty. Ask yourself why......maybe they know the trick. But it works. I tried all the other remedies. This one really works. My mom suffers from them a lot and does this and never has a break out. Especially in the line of work she don't want it to show. But this vitamin C is good for your stomach and dissolves fast. My levels (blood) always come back good. SO yes its worth it. I use to buy at Costco a BIGGER bottle cheaper price but they will not carry no more. So this is the best price I found on the net. :) Hope this helps

I ran out and purchased the generic store brand…got sick

After 2 years of not getting sick I finally did get sick. Could be coincidence but the only thing that changed was that I ran out of this vitamin C and purchased a generic store brand. This happened within a few weeks of switching. Update: 4/26/2015 I still love this Vitamin C. I suffered from Cold sores since I was 16 years old, 2-3 times a year at least which was humiliating to be stared at by clients or on a crowded train. I'm not talking about a tiny sore, I'm talking a lip swollen twice it's size with a sore. I would have to hide for 3 weeks at least until it went down and I did this several times a year. I look back at holiday photos, vacation photos, birthday photos, and there I am with a sore :( Anyway, a few years ago my wife purchased Ester-C and left it on the kitchen counter. I took one each day not expecting much. I gradually realized that 6 months had passed with no sore, then 6 more. It was a miracle. I felt like I had been cured from a terminal disease and I had a new lease on life, no more hiding, no more humiliation. The bonus was the allergies and colds which I suffered from at least every 3 months with non-stop sneezing, those too were gone. I recently suffered from the flu and my lip formed a red area as if a sore was coming on. It was slightly swollen but it never progressed and it disappeared completely in 3 days. I ended up with the worst case of flu I have ever had in my life. I was sick for a month and it took another month to fully recover. I can't promise that this will do the same for everyone else, I might have a deficiency which the vitamin C is helping me with. Then again it might help many. It's worth a try

We've been using this product in our family, and it works really well! When you start to get the common Cold symptoms take one daily and you'll see the difference. Love them

Does not upset the stomach

I believe this product has protected me from the common Cold and flu. It is typical for me to be free Cold symptoms for many years

Works. Safe. Never got sick, not even a Cold

Immediate buy. Taking since Jan 2020. Don't believe me, believe in track records. On the worst pandemic ever, owning an office, I've never gotten sick once, not even a Cold. Can I say it's this? Maybe maybe not. Everything to gain. My family has taken them and everyone has been fine; we have all worn masks and followed guidelines, but this stuff is different. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain, even if it's just general health

best way to stop a Cold/fever

As soon as I start getting to feel I'm getting sick, I start taking these vitamins, as well as drinking lots of orange juice, and it usually stops it. Only time it didn't is when I ran out and had to purchase this online, and had to wait 2 days to get it :P I kept putting off the purchase, so that was my fault, but otherwise, in my opinion, best way to stop a Cold/fever! Also worked for my husband when we went on our honeymoon and he was getting sick. Except we got a different brand of vitamin C, and it didn't work as well for him. Still stopped it, but more slowly, so these will ALWAYS be my number 1 choice. P.s. I don't take on a daily basis, only when I start getting sick
