NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate Buffered Vitamin C Capsules, 100 Count

What Makes Sodium Ascorbate Different?

Unlike standard ascorbic acid, which can cause heartburn, reflux, or stomach upset—especially in higher doses—sodium ascorbate is a buffered, non-acidic form of vitamin C. This makes it significantly easier on digestion, allowing you to take higher doses comfortably. Sodium ascorbate is also highly absorbable, ensuring your body can effectively utilise the vitamin C you consume. For those with sensitive stomachs or anyone seeking a gentler option, this buffered form is an ideal choice.

Key Benefits of Sodium Ascorbate Buffered Vitamin C

This buffered vitamin C supplement provides multiple health benefits, making it an excellent addition to your daily routine:

• Immune Support: Helps fortify your body's natural defence, keeping you resilient during seasonal challenges.
• Antioxidant Protection: Neutralises free radicals that can damage cells and contribute to ageing.
• Collagen Production: Supports the synthesis of collagen, essential for healthy skin, joints, and connective tissues.
• Energy and Vitality: Plays a role in carnitine production, which helps convert fat into energy.
• Brain Health: Contributes to neurotransmitter production, supporting cognitive function.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in various forms, each with unique characteristics. Ascorbic acid is the most common and affordable but can be acidic. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered, non-acidic option that is gentle on the stomach and well-absorbed. Liposomal vitamin C uses fat-encapsulated molecules for enhanced absorption, but is often more expensive. Wholefood sources like acerola or camu camu provide vitamin C alongside other nutrients, but may have lower potency. NutriBiotic's sodium ascorbate offers an excellent balance of absorption, tolerability, and value.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

For adults, a typical serving of sodium ascorbate buffered vitamin C is 1-2 capsules daily, taken with food or as directed by your health professional. Vitamin C is water-soluble and generally safe, with excess excreted in urine. However, very high doses may cause digestive discomfort. As with any supplement, consult your doctor before starting a new regimen, especially if you have a medical condition or take medications. Always read the label and follow directions for use.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in supporting your immune system, maintaining healthy skin, and protecting cells from oxidative stress. Since your body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. NutriBiotic's Sodium Ascorbate Buffered Vitamin C Capsules offer a highly bioavailable form of this crucial vitamin, designed to be gentle on the digestive system while delivering potent antioxidant support. Inspired by the pioneering research of Linus Pauling, PhD, this formula has been a trusted choice for over 43 years.
