Ascorbic acid, the pure and bioavailable form of Vitamin C, is an essential water-soluble nutrient that the human body cannot synthesize endogenously. This critical cofactor is involved in numerous enzymatic processes, including collagen biosynthesis, catecholamine production, and carnitine synthesis. Its potent antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals, thereby reducing oxidative stress and supporting overall systemic resilience. Clinical evidence supports its role in immune modulation, endothelial function, and iron absorption, making it a foundational supplement in preventive and therapeutic health regimens.
Features
- Pharmaceutical-grade L-ascorbic acid (≥99.5% purity)
- Water-soluble crystalline powder form
- Acidic pH (approx. 2.2–2.5 in solution) for enhanced stability
- Non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly formulation
- Packaged in light-resistant, airtight containers to prevent oxidation
- Each batch third-party tested for heavy metals and microbiological contaminants
Benefits
- Enhances immune cell function, including neutrophil phagocytosis and lymphocyte proliferation
- Promotes collagen synthesis for healthy skin, joints, and vascular integrity
- Acts as a potent antioxidant, scavenging reactive oxygen species and regenerating other antioxidants like vitamin E
- Supports neurotransmitter synthesis and cognitive function
- Improves non-heme iron absorption from plant-based sources
- May reduce the duration and severity of upper respiratory tract infections
Common use
Ascorbic acid is commonly used for the prevention and treatment of vitamin C deficiency, which may present as scurvy, fatigue, or impaired wound healing. It is also widely utilized as adjunctive therapy in conditions involving oxidative stress, including cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, and age-related macular degeneration. Athletes and individuals under physical stress may use it to support recovery and reduce exercise-induced oxidative damage.
Dosage and direction
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for adult males is 90 mg/day and for adult females is 75 mg/day. Higher therapeutic doses, typically ranging from 500 mg to 2000 mg per day, are often used under medical supervision. Ascorbic acid is best taken with water, preferably with meals to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Doses exceeding 1000 mg daily should be divided throughout the day to maintain plasma saturation and avoid rapid renal excretion.
Precautions
Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have a history of kidney stones, hemochromatosis, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Discontinue use if rash, dizziness, or gastrointestinal distress occurs. Long-term use of high doses may lead to acidification of urine and potential nephrolithiasis in susceptible individuals.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ascorbic acid or any component of the formulation. Not recommended for individuals with hereditary iron overload disorders (e.g., hemochromatosis) due to enhanced iron absorption.
Possible side effect
Common side effects include mild gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, or nausea at high doses (>2000 mg/day). Rare cases of oxalate nephropathy or renal calculi have been reported with prolonged megadosing.
Drug interaction
May interact with anticoagulants like warfarin by potentially reducing prothrombin time. Can increase aluminum absorption when taken with aluminum-containing antacids. May reduce the efficacy of fluphenazine and other neuroleptics. Concurrent use with estrogen may increase estrogen levels.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume the usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Overdose
Acute overdose is rare due to efficient renal excretion. Symptoms may include severe diarrhea, nausea, gastritis, and headache. In cases of extremely high intake (>10 g), hemolysis or renal oxalate stone formation may occur. Treatment is supportive and includes discontinuation and hydration.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Keep container tightly closed. Do not refrigerate. Shelf life is typically 36 months from manufacture date when stored properly.
