NuSci Pure Sodium Ascorbate Powder 1000g (2.2lb) Buffered Vitamin C

What is Pure Sodium Ascorbate?

Discover Sodium Ascorbate Pure — Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, also known as sodium vitamin C. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, it is less acidic and gentler on the stomach. NuSci offers you this pure sodium ascorbate powder in a 1000-gram (2.2-pound) format, with no additives or fillers. Its white crystalline texture and slightly salty taste make it easy to mix with water, juices, or smoothies. It is a versatile option for both daily use and custom formulations.

Benefits of Buffered Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with multiple functions in the body. 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. Sodium ascorbate, being buffered, offers these same benefits with reduced acidity, making it ideal for people with sensitive stomachs. Additionally, its powder format allows you to adjust the dose according to your needs.

Recommended Dosage

There is no one-size-fits-all dose. The appropriate amount of vitamin C can vary depending on age, health status, and other factors. Generally, a level teaspoon (approximately 4 grams) of sodium ascorbate powder provides about 3,500 mg of vitamin C. For daily use, many people take between 500 mg and 2000 mg. We recommend consulting a healthcare professional to determine the dose that best suits you. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
