There is ample evidence about their effectiveness. But because they are not patentable, and therefore not profitable, research is done only by a dedicated few with a true zeal.
As the Secretary of Defense in INDEPENDENCE DAY said, "That's not entirely accurate."

I've been taking Ester C (a patented form of vitamin C) for several years - ever since I had a bout/flare of IBS. There are debates about the pros & cons, but for me there is no choice - ascorbic acid rips up my insides, while Ester C doesn't, and I definitely need the supplemental C.
