Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder

Pure vitamin C as ascorbic acid powder, providing 1g (1000mg, 1250% NRV) per small scoop serving. The single ingredient formulation contains only ascorbic acid with no fillers, binders or additives. Vitamin C is the body's most important water soluble antioxidant and is essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, iron absorption, neurotransmitter production, wound healing and adrenal function.

The powder format offers several advantages over tablets and capsules: higher doses can be achieved easily, the dose can be adjusted precisely, it is more rapidly absorbed than compressed tablets, and it avoids the filler and binding agents present in tablet forms. Ascorbic acid is the most researched and cost effective form of vitamin C. It has an acidic pH, which some people find stimulates digestion while others may experience digestive sensitivity at higher doses. Those with sensitive stomachs may prefer to take with food or consider buffered forms such as magnesium ascorbate.

Take 1 small scoop (1g) in water before food.

Dissolve in a glass of water. The acidic taste can be softened by mixing with juice. Taking before food supports iron absorption from the subsequent meal. For immune support during illness, the dose can be increased to 1g every 2 to 3 hours (to bowel tolerance). Bowel tolerance (loose stools) indicates tissue saturation and is the signal to reduce the dose.

For daily maintenance, 1 to 2 scoops (1 to 2g) is typical. For collagen support, pair with proline and glycine. For iron absorption, take alongside iron supplements. Avoid taking at the same time as B12 supplements, as high dose vitamin C can reduce B12 absorption.
