Ascorbate Bio-C Information

NutriBiotic Ascorbate Bio-C delivers natural nutrients in concentrations higher than can be found in food, while being hypo-allergenic (free of all common food antigens). Our ascorbic acid is produced in a 15 step process, and has the highest solubility of all Pharmaceutical Grade vitamin C powders.

Steps 1 thru 9 (Starch Hydrolysis): Vegetable starch is broken down into simple sugar (D-Glucose) by the action of heat and enzymes.

Step 10 (Hydrogenation): D-Glucose is converted into D-Sorbitol.

Step 11 (Fermentation): D Sorbitol is converted into L-Sorbose.

Step 12 (Acetonation): L-Sorbose is combined with an acid at low temperatures.

Step 13 (Oxidation): The product is then oxidized with a catalyst, acidified, washed and dried forming L-Gluconic Acid.

Step 14 (Hydrolysis): L-Gluconic Acid is treated with hydrochloric acid forming crude ascorbic acid.

Step 15 (Recrystallization): The crude ascorbic acid is filtered, purified and milled into a fine crystalline powder.

In water or juice, the minerals and vitamin C in Ascorbate Bio-C react to form mineral ascorbates. In ascorbate form, minerals buffer the acidity of vitamin C, while combining with it to create a potent delivery system. The end result is a buffered vitamin C in liquid form, providing easy-to-assimilate minerals, as ascorbates, with the industry's most potent 50% bioflavonoid extract.

A significant source of calcium and other key minerals.
