Sodium Ascorbate Powder, 2 lb (907 g) Bag - Food Grade FCC USP BioActive Non-GMO Vitamin C

Understanding Sodium Ascorbate

Sodium ascorbate is a mineral salt of ascorbic acid – essentially, vitamin C in a buffered form. Unlike standard ascorbic acid, which can be acidic and harsh on the stomach, sodium ascorbate has a near-neutral pH, making it an ideal choice for anyone with a sensitive digestive system. This bio-available form is readily absorbed and used by the body, offering a convenient way to meet your daily vitamin C needs through diet or supplementation, since the body cannot produce it on its own.

Quality and Purity Standards

This sodium ascorbate powder meets stringent Food Grade specifications, complying with both the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards. FCC criteria ensure quality for food ingredients, while USP provides official benchmarks for dietary supplements. Rigorous testing guarantees identity, strength, purity, and composition. Additionally, the product is labelled as BioActive, confirming it is in a form the body can readily uses, and Non-GMO, for those avoiding genetically engineered ingredients.
