Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Powder 100 Grams

Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning the body cannot produce it. Some dietary sources of vitamin C include kiwis, bell peppers, strawberries, oranges, broccoli, and tomatoes. However, ascorbic acid is a fragile molecule, and the levels of ascorbic acid in foods often decrease during preparation, cooking, and storage. Oxidation, heat, and alkalinity also reduce the levels of vitamin C in foods. Many individuals opt to take ascorbic acid powder to maximize the benefits of vitamin C, as it provides better dosing control and more consistent results.

Ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant that can also regenerate other antioxidants in the body. The body uses vitamin C to synthesize l-carnitine, certain neurotransmitters, and collagen. Numerous bodily functions rely on ascorbic acid, including iron absorption, immune system support, wound healing, and more.

Ascorbic acid plays a role in many of the phases of wound healing. Once an injury clots, some inflammation is normal. At this stage, the body signals neutrophils to participate in the wound healing process. Neutrophils are inflammatory cells that remove pathogens and any foreign material present in the wound. However, prolonged inflammation can cause poor healing. Ascorbic acid helps clear these neutrophils along with their toxic contents. Ascorbic acid also promotes new tissue growth during the proliferative phase of wound healing by synthesizing collagen. This collagen synthesis process is also critical for strong bones, cartilage, and teeth.
