NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate is manufactured by dissolving pharmaceutical grade ascorbic acid with sodium bicarbonate (derived from sea water). It is a fully reacted, truly buffered form of vitamin C.

Sodium Ascorbate is historically a favorite of clinicians who, like vitamin C pioneer Fred Klenner, MD, prescribe very high doses of vitamin C for therapeutic purposes. It has a high degree of tissue compatibility, and is the preferred form for intravenous infusion and veterinary applications. It has long been used to supplement many foods and used as an antioxidant in prepared foods. It is often used by those desiring an economical, non-bitter, fully reacted non-acidic vitamin C product.

The sodium in this product differs from common table salt in that it is not combined with chloride, the "salt" most often associated with hypertension. Each gram (1000 mg) of vitamin C activity from NutriBiotic Sodium Ascorbate provides only 120 mg of sodium. Its modest sodium content can be helpful to those with low adrenal function.
