Sodium Ascorbate

Description

Sodium Ascorbate is a salt form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which is commonly used as a dietary supplement or in pharmaceutical formulations due to its antioxidant properties. It is preferred over ascorbic acid in certain formulations because it is less acidic and therefore gentler on the stomach. Sodium ascorbate is typically used to treat or prevent vitamin C deficiency, enhance the immune system, and offer antioxidant protection to cells.

Sodium ascorbate is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it dissolves in water and is readily absorbed into the bloodstream when ingested. It plays a critical role in various bodily functions, including collagen synthesis, wound healing, and the absorption of iron.
