Key Benefits of Buffered Vitamin C

Vitamin C is renowned for its antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals that can damage cells. Sodium ascorbate, a buffered form of vitamin C, is particularly gentle on the stomach, making it an excellent choice for those with digestive sensitivities. NOW Foods Sodium Ascorbate Powder delivers a pure, pharmaceutical-grade source of this essential nutrient in a convenient powder format. Each 3-pound (1.36 kg) container provides a cost-effective supply for your daily wellness routine.*

The buffered nature of sodium ascorbate allows for higher doses with reduced risk of stomach upset compared to regular ascorbic acid. Many Canadians incorporate this powder into smoothies, shakes, or simply mix it with water or juice. It dissolves easily and has a mildly salty taste due to the sodium content. Note that each serving contains a small amount of sodium, but the product is labelled as low sodium.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements: Why Sodium Ascorbate Stands Out

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. Ascorbic acid is the most common but can be acidic. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered, non-acidic form that is often better tolerated. Other forms include calcium ascorbate, liposomal vitamin C, and whole-food sources like acerola. Sodium ascorbate offers a balance of purity, absorbability, and stomach friendliness.

NOW Foods uses only pharmaceutical-grade sodium ascorbate, ensuring high quality and potency. The powder format allows for flexible dosing—you can easily adjust your serving size from a small pinch to a full scoop. This makes it ideal for those who want to customise their intake or gradually increase their dose.

How to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider form, dosage, and purity. If you have a sensitive stomach, a buffered option like sodium ascorbate is a smart choice. Look for products that are non-GMO, vegan, and free from common allergens. NOW Foods Sodium Ascorbate Powder is certified non-GMO, vegan, kosher, and made without gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, or eggs. It also carries the NPA A-rated GMP certification, meaning each batch is tested for stability, potency, and formulation.

The 3-pound size is economical for daily use. Whether you're an athlete, a busy parent, or someone focussed on immune health, this bulk powder offers long-lasting supply. Simply store it in a cool, dry place and use the included scoop (if provided) or a small measuring spoon.

What Is Sodium Ascorbate and Why Choose a Buffered Vitamin C?

Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C that is less acidic than standard ascorbic acid, making it gentler on the digestive system. It provides ascorbate, the active form of vitamin C, bound to sodium. This formulation is ideal for individuals who want to increase their vitamin C intake without discomfort.

NOW Foods Sodium Ascorbate Powder provides a pure, pharmaceutical-grade source of vitamin C in a convenient powder form. As a highly effective antioxidant, sodium ascorbate helps neutralize free radicals generated during normal metabolism and exposure to environmental stressors.*

Recommended Dosage and Safety

There is No one-size-fits-all dosage for vitamin C. Typical recommendations range from 500 mg to 2,000 mg per day for adults. Since this is a powder, check the label for serving size—usually about ¼ teaspoon provides approximately 1,000 mg of vitamin C. Start with a lower amount and increase gradually to assess tolerance. Do not exceed the recommended intake unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is generally excreted, but very high doses may cause digestive upset or diarrhea. If you have a history of kidney stones or other medical conditions, consult your doctor before supplementing. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
