Vitamin C Sodium Ascorbate 227g – Now Foods

Sodium ascorbate is a buffered, non-bitter, non-acidic form of vitamin C in a highly soluble form. This form of vitamin C is ideal for people suffering from gastric sensitivity.

Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for proper bodily function. Humans are unable to synthesize vitamin C and must therefore obtain it through external intake. It is required in small concentrations for normal physiological functions.

Vitamin C helps the body improve its response to pathogens, promoting a stronger immune system. With antioxidant properties, vitamin C helps the body's cells stay healthy, as it protects all organic structures by neutralizing free radicals such as hydroxyl and hydroxyperoxide. This protects blood lipids and cholesterol from oxidative damage, thus providing a protective effect on the cardiovascular system.

Vitamin C also plays an important role in the absorption of non-heme iron, the form of iron present in plant-based diets, and in the metabolism of amino acids and folic acid. It is also necessary for the production of collagen—a structural protein in connective tissue, therefore essential for the health of the skin, bones, and joints (cartilage). It regulates the nervous system through the biosynthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline, in the metabolism of tyrosine and tryptophan, and in the amidation of peptide hormones.
