Sodium Ascorbate Powder, 2.27 kg Bag - Food Grade, Non-GMO Vitamin C

Key Benefits of Sodium Ascorbate as a Vitamin C Source

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with numerous roles in the body. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and supports normal collagen formation for healthy skin. Additionally, vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. Because sodium ascorbate is buffered, it is gentler on the digestive tract, allowing for higher doses without the acidity that can cause irritation. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking consistent vitamin C intake for general wellness.

What Is Sodium Ascorbate and Why Choose It?

Sodium ascorbate is a buffered, salt form of vitamin C, combining ascorbic acid with sodium to reduce acidity. This makes it an excellent option for individuals with sensitive stomachs who might experience discomfort from regular ascorbic acid. Duda Energy's Sodium Ascorbate Powder is high-purity, 99+% pure crystalline powder meeting Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards. It is non-GMO and bioactive, ensuring your body can readily uses the vitamin C. Packaged in a heavy-duty, light-resistant resealable bag, this 2.27 kg supply offers exceptional value for daily supplementation.

Why Choose Powder Form Over Tablets or Capsules?

Powdered supplements provide flexibility and convenience. With sodium ascorbate powder, you can easily adjust your dosage to meet your individual needs—whether you prefer a small maintenance dose or a larger amount during seasonal changes. The powder dissolves quickly in water, juice, or smoothies, making it simple to incorporate into your daily routine. Additionally, buying in bulk powder form is often more economical per serving compared to tablets or capsules, and it reduces packaging waste. The resealable bag keeps the powder fresh and protected from light and moisture.

To uses, simply scoop the desired amount of powder and mix it into a beverage or soft food. Start with a small dose (e.g., 1/4 teaspoon) and gradually increase as tolerated.

Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always uses the provided scoop or a clean, dry utensil to avoid moisture contamination.
