★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder is pure vitamin C with nothing added, one gram per small scoop. It is the way to take a higher amount than capsules give, or to avoid capsules altogether. A 150g pot holds 150 servings.
Benefits of taking vitamin C
Vitamin C is the vitamin your immune system leans on, which your body also uses to make collagen and to absorb iron. Your body cannot store it, so it is taken every day.
- Your immune system gets the vitamin C it relies on.
- Energy levels pick up as tiredness and fatigue ease.
- Collagen keeps forming for skin, bones and cartilage.
- Iron from the meal that follows is absorbed better.
Who benefits
Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder is most useful for:
- People who take a gram or more a day, since the powder is the cheapest way to do it.
- Anyone who prefers to avoid capsules altogether.
- Those who want to set the amount scoop by scoop, up to bowel tolerance at times of high demand.
If plain vitamin C upsets your stomach, Magnesium Ascorbate Capsules are the buffered, gentler form.
What is in it
Each 1g serving provides 1g of vitamin C, which is 1250% of the daily reference value. The only ingredient is ascorbic acid. L-ascorbic acid, pure vitamin C powder and ascorbic acid crystals are other names for it.
How to take it
Dissolve one small scoop, 1g, in a glass of water and take it before food. Mixing it with juice softens the acidic taste. One to two scoops a day is typical for everyday use. At times of high demand the amount can go up to one scoop every two to three hours, until your bowel tells you to stop.
Diet and allergens
The powder is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The powder is made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, it is practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
Ascorbic acid powder or a buffered vitamin C, which should I choose?
Ascorbic acid is vitamin C itself, which your body absorbs as well as any other form. Choose the powder if you tolerate acid well and want a high, adjustable amount, or a buffered form such as magnesium ascorbate if plain vitamin C upsets your stomach.
How much vitamin C should I take a day?
One to two scoops a day, 1g to 2g, is typical. At times of high demand the amount can rise to a scoop every two to three hours, with loose stools as the signal to cut back.
When is the best time to take vitamin C?
Take it before food, because vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron in the meal that follows.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. It pairs well with an iron supplement. For collagen, L-Proline Capsules and Glycine Capsules supply the amino acids collagen is built from, so the three go together. Take it at a different time from vitamin B12, because a high dose of vitamin C can reduce B12 absorption.
Does vitamin C powder have side effects?
Loose stools are the sign of too much, so take less if that happens. The powder is acidic, so rinsing your mouth after a drink of it protects your teeth.
Why powder rather than capsules?
A scoop gives you a gram in one go, which would take several capsules, so the amount can be set by the scoop. There is nothing in the pot but vitamin C.

Frequently asked questions
What is Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder good for?
Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder provides essential vitamins supporting multiple body functions.
When should I take vitamins?
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) should be taken with fat-containing food.
Can I take this with other supplements?
Yes, but check for overlap to avoid excessive doses.
What is the difference between synthetic and natural vitamins?
Natural forms are often better absorbed. Look for methylated B vitamins and natural vitamin E (d-alpha vs dl-alpha).
Can I take vitamins on an empty stomach?
Water-soluble vitamins (B and C) are fine on empty stomach. Fat-soluble vitamins need food with fat for absorption.
Ascorbic acid powder or a buffered vitamin C: which should I choose?
Ascorbic acid is vitamin C itself, and the body absorbs it as well as any other form. The powder is the cheapest way to take a gram or more a day and lets the dose be set by the scoop. It is acidic, so some people find a large dose harsh on the stomach or teeth; taking it with food and rinsing the mouth afterwards helps. Buffered forms such as sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and magnesium ascorbate are gentler and bring a mineral with them, at a higher cost per gram. Choose the powder if you tolerate acid well and want a high adjustable dose; choose a buffered form if plain vitamin C upsets your stomach.
