NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate Buffered Vitamin C Powder - Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, 8 oz (227 g)

Key Benefits of NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate

Vitamin C is well-known for its role in supporting the immune system. NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate is a bioavailable form that your body can readily absorb and utilize. As an antioxidant, it helps neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to premature aging. By supporting your body's natural defences, this supplement helps you stay active and healthy throughout the year.

Beyond immunity, vitamin C is essential for the production of carnitine, a molecule that helps convert fat into energy. It also supports collagen synthesis, which is crucial for maintaining the health of your skin, joints, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Additionally, vitamin C plays a role in the production of certain neurotransmitters, which support brain health and cognitive function. With NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate, you're not just supporting your immune system—you're nourishing your entire body.

One of the standout features of this product is its buffered, non-acidic formula. Unlike regular ascorbic acid, which can cause heartburn, reflux, or stomach upset—especially at higher doses—sodium ascorbate is much gentler on the digestive tract. This makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive stomachs or for anyone looking to take higher amounts of vitamin C without discomfort.

Understanding Vitamin C: Why This Form Works

Vitamin C is one of the most essential nutrients for overall wellness. It plays a vital role in supporting the immune system, acting as a powerful antioxidant, and helping maintain healthy skin, bones, and connective tissues. While many people associate vitamin C with citrus fruits, getting an optimal daily amount through diet alone can be challenging—especially during periods of stress or seasonal changes. That's where a high-quality supplement like NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate Buffered Vitamin C Powder steps in.

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms, each with its own characteristics. The most common is ascorbic acid, which is highly acidic and can irritate the stomach. Buffered forms like sodium ascorbate are created by combining ascorbic acid with a mineral such as sodium, resulting in a neutral pH that is easier to tolerate. Other forms include calcium ascorbate, liposomal vitamin C, and whole-food sources like acerola or camu camu. Among these, sodium ascorbate offers a balance of high bioavailability, ease of digestion, and excellent mixability in liquids.

NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate is a pure, crystalline powder that dissolves easily in water, juice, or smoothies. It has a mild, slightly salty taste—much less sour than ascorbic acid—making it more palatable for both children and adults. Additionally, this product is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and contains No artificial colours, flavors, or preservatives, aligning with a clean and natural lifestyle.

How to Use This Powder

Using NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate is simple and versatile. The recommended serving size is roughly 1/4 teaspoon (about 1 gram), which provides approximately 890 mg of vitamin C. You can mix it into a glass of water, juice, or your favourite smoothie. Because it mixes well and doesn't have an overpowering taste, even picky eaters can enjoy it. Start with a lower dose and gradually increase as needed, paying attention to your body's response. For precise dosing, use the included scoop (if available) or a kitchen scale.

For maximum absorption, you can take it in divided doses throughout the day. Since vitamin C is water-soluble, any excess is excreted, so consistent intake helps maintain optimal levels in the body.

Dosage and Safety Information

General recommendations for vitamin C intake vary, but most adults can safely take 500–2,000 mg per day. The upper tolerable limit is 2,000 mg daily from supplements, though higher amounts may be used under professional guidance. NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate provides approximately 890 mg per 1/4 teaspoon, so a single serving is well within the safe range. If you are new to vitamin C supplementation, start with a smaller amount and increase gradually.

As with any supplement, consult your health-care practitioner before beginning a new regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Sodium ascorbate contains sodium, so individuals on a sodium-restricted diet should take this into account. Keep out of reach of children.
