Prescribed For Life Sodium Ascorbate Powder - Pure USP Buffered Vitamin C (10kg)

Vitamin C: Essential Functions for Your Health

Vitamin C is a vital nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own, so it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It plays several key roles in maintaining your wellbeing. For instance, vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and supports normal collagen formation for healthy skin, bones, teeth, gums, and blood vessels. It also aids in normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Prescribed For Life Sodium Ascorbate Powder delivers this essential vitamin in a buffered form that is gentle on the stomach. This pure, USP-grade powder contains no fillers, binders, or additives, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality vitamin C supplement.

What Is Sodium Ascorbate and Why Choose It?

Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C where ascorbic acid is bonded to sodium. This reduces the acidity compared to standard ascorbic acid, making it kinder to the stomach while still providing all the benefits of vitamin C. This powder form allows you to customise your dosage easily, and the large 10kg bulk bag is perfect for long-term uses, families, or commercial settings.

Each serving (approximately 1,000 mg of vitamin C) provides a highly bio-available source that your body can uses efficiently. The resealable pouch ensures the powder stays fresh and protected from moisture.

Sodium Ascorbate vs. Ascorbic Acid: What's the Difference?

Standard vitamin C supplements often uses ascorbic acid, which can be harsh on the stomach for some people, especially at high doses. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered version where the vitamin C is bonded to sodium, lowering its acidity. This makes it a preferred choice for those with sensitive stomachs or those taking higher amounts.

Both forms are effective, but sodium ascorbate offers enhanced tolerability without compromising absorption. It also contributes to maintaining electrolyte balance due to its sodium content. Prescribed For Life sources only USP-grade sodium ascorbate, ensuring purity and potency with every scoop.
