NutriBiotic Ascorbato de Sodio: Vitamina C Tamponada en Polvo, 227 g

Buffered Vitamin C Benefits

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage (according to EFSA). NutriBiotic's sodium ascorbate formulation offers a buffered, non-acidic form, ideal for those seeking a highly digestible supplement. This micronized powder mixes easily into beverages and provides a concentrated dose of vitamin C with efficient absorption.

What's the difference between sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid?

Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, meaning it has a more neutral pH. While ascorbic acid can cause heartburn or discomfort in some people, sodium ascorbate is gentler on the stomach. This makes it an excellent choice for those who need higher doses or have digestive sensitivities. Additionally, its taste is less acidic, making it more palatable for children and adults.

Recommended Dosage and How to Take It

The recommended daily dose for adults is 1/4 teaspoon (approximately 1 g), which can be mixed with water, juice, or smoothies. Each 227 g (8 oz) container provides about 227 servings. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.

Synergies with Other Nutrients

Vitamin C promotes the absorption of non-heme iron found in plant-based foods. Combining it with iron-rich foods or an iron supplement can be beneficial for maintaining adequate levels. It also participates in collagen synthesis, contributing to the health of skin, bones, and blood vessels (according to EFSA).

Who is this product suitable for?

This supplement is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, is gluten-free, and contains no genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Its powder format allows for easy dose adjustment, making it practical for the whole family. Additionally, as it contains no unnecessary excipients, it is a clean and effective option for those seeking a quality vitamin C supplement.
