Ascorbic Acid Powder with Bioflavonoids Information

NutriBiotic Ascorbic Acid Powder has the highest solubility of all vitamin C powders which makes it the easiest to mix into water or beverages.  The manufacturing procedure for NutriBiotic All-Natural Source Ascorbic Acid involves 15 steps:

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.

Bioflavonoids are antioxidant co-factors always found with vitamin C in nature. The Bioflavonoid Complex in this product possesses the highest level of active compounds available. Bioflavonoids provide a wide range of physiological benefits. They are derived from the inner peel (albedo) of lemons. First, the peel is removed, dried, and powdered, yielding a product with 3% flavonoid activity. Then through added natural and rigorously controlled extraction and filtration methods, the flavonoid concentration is increased to the industry's highest level: 50%. When you purchase any NutriBiotic product containing bioflavonoids, you will always be sure you are receiving a 50% extract.
