Ascorbic Acid [C6H8O6] 99.9% ACS Grade Powder 2 Oz (57 g) - Space-Saving Packaging

What is Ascorbic Acid?

Discover Ascorbic Acid [C6H8O6] — Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble nutrient essential for the human body. This product offers ascorbic acid in its purest form: a white crystalline powder with 99.9% purity and ACS (American Chemical Society) quality, guaranteeing a high level of refinement. It is suitable for food use and as a raw material for the production of personalized supplements.

Vitamin C plays key roles in metabolism, and being water-soluble, the body does not store it, so regular intake is necessary. This powder allows for flexible dosing, ideal for those looking to avoid excipients or common additives in tablets.

Benefits of Vitamin C

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage. In addition, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and promotes normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of skin, blood vessels, bones, and cartilage. It also contributes to normal energy metabolism and increases iron absorption.

It is important to remember that these benefits are obtained within a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Food supplements should not replace a varied diet.
