Pure Source Nutrition Pure Sodium Ascorbate Food Buffered Vitamin C L Ascorbic Acid Powder Food Grade 250g Vegan Supplements

Being buffered, this won't cause tooth corrosion and/or cause much gut irritation, and may also improve absorption by the gut. The Sodium is not a problem, it never was; that nonsense came from a shameful century old Salt myth. 1Kg may seem a lot, but it isn't, humans may actually need about 12 gram per day for optimal normal health (spread across a day), not the pathetically small, sub-gram, bare-scurvy avoidance amount the NHS recommends; you can determine your optimum amount by gradually increasing your dose from, say, one gram per day until it causes diarrhoea, then back off a little. Eating vegetation, especially carbohydrates, can significantly increase Vitamin C and B's requirements, due to significantly higher consumption for detoxifying plant anti-nutrients and ATP production waste from carbohydrates, than for animal foods, so fasting, or being mostly a carnivore, can significantly reduce requirements of these; probably a good idea if you are sick. If you are sick or injured (including from dental work or other surgery), don't be surprised if you can then tolerate 10's of grams more per day, before diarrhoea occurs; fighting disease and repairs can require a lot more Vitamin C for fastest action; this may make a life or death difference for some serious disease or injury!

Very pleased with this. Dissolves very easily, hardly any detectable taste in the water which remains clear. Seems very pure as advertised.

Use for all the family when colds start to emerge. Never toxic to the body - just stop when it causes loser bowel movements as you know you will have reached your maximum dose.

This item is very good can recommend

Best price i could find at the time, so am happy.

Easier on the stomach than ascorbic acid

The dosage instructions say you should take a "headed teaspoon (1 gram)". What is a headed teaspoon? A HEAPED teaspoon equals 7.5 grammes so it's not that. There's no scoop in the bag. How much actual ascorbic acid is there in one gram of sodium ascorbate? Dunno. How much is there in a heaped teaspoon? Dunno. If you don't mind taking an unknown dosage of vitamin C, then this stuff appears to be good value for money. It tastes mildly salty but not unpleasant. The taste is fully disguised in fruit juice and I personally find the taste acceptable in water.

I use vitamin C to support the immune system against infections / colds etc. I buy the powder so that it gives me the choice of dissolving it in water or I can make it into capsules to swallow which is useful if away from home. This is the second time I have ordered from this company and found their product of good quality.
