Sodium Ascorbate Information

NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate is a non-bitter, fully reacted, buffered vitamin C in a highly soluble form. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the body, therefore, it must be replenished daily. Vitamin C has several beneficial purposes including developing and maintaining healthy skin and bones, and plays important roes in many biochemical reactions. Vitamin C provides support to the body's immune system by protecting cells from oxidative stresses.*

NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate is manufactured by dissolving pharmaceutical grade ascorbic acid with sodium bicarbonate, derived from sea water. Sodium helps regulate the amount of water in the body.† It also aids the movement of sodium into and out of cells, which plays a critical role in many bodily functions.* The sodium in this product differs from common table salt in that it is not combined with chloride, the "salt" most often associated with hypertension. Each gram (1000 mg) of vitamin C activity from NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate provides only 120 mg of sodium. Its modest sodium content can be helpful to those with low adrenal function.

Sodium Ascorbate is historically a favorite of clinicians who, like vitamin C pioneer Fred Klenner, MD, prescribe very high doses of vitamin C for therapeutic purposes. It has a high degree of tissue compatibility, and is the preferred form for intravenous infusion and veterinary applications. It has long been used to supplement many foods and used as an antioxidant in prepared foods. It is often used by those desiring an economical, non-bitter, fully reacted non-acidic vitamin C product.
