Overview of Sodium Ascorbate

Sodium Ascorbate is the name given to the sodium salts of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) used as an antioxidant, nutritional supplement, and as an excipient for pharmaceuticals. It is known as an un-acidic, buffered form of Vitamin C with excellent bioavailability and tolerability. Sodium Ascorbate is extensively used as a dietary supplement in pharmaceutical formulations as well as for the preservation of food items.

This compound appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder with good water solubility and characteristic antioxidant properties. Its properties—buffered pH, excellent absorption, powerful antioxidant activity, essential vitamin function—make it valuable in nutritional, pharmaceutical, and food applications.

Related products include Ascorbic Acid, Calcium Ascorbate, Magnesium Ascorbate, and other Vitamin C forms used in nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. May be used in formulations alongside antioxidants, such as Resveratrol, for synergistic benefits.
