Understanding Vitamin C

Your body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, so it is essential to obtain it through diet or supplementation. NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate Buffered Vitamin C Powder delivers a gentle, non-acidic form of this vital nutrient that's easier on the stomach than traditional ascorbic acid. This high-absorption formulation ensures your body receives the vitamin C it needs for overall wellness. With a 2.27 kg (5 lb) supply, this powder offers flexible dosing and mixes easily into your favourite beverages.

How to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider the form, dosage, and certifications. If you have a sensitive stomach, a buffered option like sodium ascorbate is ideal. Dosage depends on individual needs, but powder forms allow you to customise your intake. Look for third-party tested products to ensure purity. NutriBiotic's powder is free from gluten, GMOs, and animal products, making it a clean choice for health-conscious consumers. The 2.27 kg container offers excellent value for regular use.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in several forms. The most common is ascorbic acid, which is highly acidic and can irritate the stomach. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form that is less acidic and better tolerated. Liposomal vitamin C use fat-encapsulated molecules for enhanced absorption, while whole-food sources like acerola cherry provide vitamin C alongside other phytonutrients. NutriBiotic's Sodium Ascorbate offers a middle ground: it is highly bioavailable yet gentle on digestion. It is also vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, catering to a wide range of dietary needs.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

Typical daily dosages range from 500 mg to 2000 mg, but it is best to consult with a health care professional before starting any new supplement regimen. As a powder, NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate allows you to easily adjust your dose. Start with a small serving and increase gradually to assess tolerance. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is excreted, but very high doses may cause digestive upset. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
