NOTES:
Ascorbic acid is the most commonly
consumed and also the least expensive form of vitamin C available. However, its
slight acidic component can make it hard on the digestive system for some,
especially those with stomach acid issues. Many studies use this formulation of
vitamin C. While ascorbic acid is synthetically made, it is identical to the
formulations found in nature. Since studies show only 30 percent of a
given dose is actually absorbed, researchers have also sought other
formulations that may be better absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
Ascorbic acid is available in tablets, capsules, or as a powder. The following
are mineral ascorbates.
- Calcium Ascorbate – This
formulation contains both calcium (at 100 mg) and ascorbate (at 900 mg)
and should be considered by those who want to improve bone health while
also preventing osteopenia and osteoporosis. One of its advantages is that
it causes less gastric irritation than the ascorbic acid formation while
maintaining equal antioxidant capacity, according to a 2018 study.
- Magnesium Ascorbate – This
formulation contains both magnesium (50 to 100 mg) and 900 mg of ascorbate.
This may be a great option for those on magnesium-lowering medications
(i.e. acid reducers and diuretics), those with chronic headaches, or those
with frequent leg cramps. Since magnesium deficiency can also increase the
risk for heart palpitations or arrhythmias, magnesium ascorbate can be
considered in those at risk.
- Sodium Ascorbate – This
formulation contains both sodium (~100 mg) and 900 mg of ascorbate. Those
who are on a low-salt diet should avoid this formulation. While most
people on a low-salt diet should keep their daily total to less than 2,000
mg, even small amounts can add up over time.
