NutriBiotic Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C Powder, 16 oz - Pharmaceutical Grade L-Ascorbic Acid

Key Benefits of Vitamin C for Your Health

Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own. It plays a crucial role in supporting immune function by helping white blood cells work effectively.* As a powerful antioxidant, it also helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Beyond immunity, this vitamin is vital for collagen synthesis, which keeps your skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues strong and healthy.* Additionally, vitamin C enhances iron absorption from plant foods and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

What Makes NutriBiotic's Vitamin C Powder Special?

With over 40 years of experience, NutriBiotic delivers pharmaceutical-grade L-ascorbic acid in its purest form. This vitamin C powder contains No fillers, binders, or artificial additives. It is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from common allergens such as milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and yeast. There are No sweeteners, flavourings, colours, or preservatives. The powder format allows you to easily adjust your dose—from a pinch to a full teaspoon—and it dissolves quickly in water, juice, or smoothies without clumping.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms, including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate (a buffered option), and liposomal vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is the most common and cost-effective form, offering high bioavailability. NutriBiotic uses pure L-ascorbic acid, identical to the vitamin C found naturally in fruits and vegetables. For those with sensitive stomachs, buffered versions may be gentler, but many tolerate ascorbic acid well, especially when taken with food. This pharmaceutical-grade powder ensures maximum purity and potency.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

The suggested serving is ½ teaspoon (approximately 2000 mg) daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Since vitamin C is water-soluble, excess is usually excreted, but very high doses may cause digestive discomfort. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase as tolerated. This product is intended for adults. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a health professional before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.

Why You Need Vitamin C Daily

Because your body cannot make vitamin C, you must obtain it each day through diet or supplementation. This nutrient helps maintain normal immune function, promotes collagen production for healthy skin and connective tissues, and supports the normal function of the nervous system.* Many people also take vitamin C to help reduce fatigue and support energy production.* Consistent use can contribute to firm, elastic-looking skin.
