Sodium Ascorbate is one of a number of mineral salts of ascorbic acid(vitamin C). The molecular formula of this chemical compound is C6H7NaO6. As the sodium salt of ascorbic acid, it is known as a mineral ascorbate.
As a food additive, it has the E number E301 and is used as an antioxidant and an acidity regulator. It is approved for use as a food additive in the EU, USA, and Australia and New Zealand.
Sodium Ascorbate is white or light yellow crystalline solid,lg of the product can be dissolved in 2 ml water. Not soluble in benzene,ether chloroform,insoluble in ethanol,relatively stable in dry air,moisture absorption and water solution after the oxidation and decomposition will slow,especially in neutral or alkaline solution is oxidized very quickly.
According to The Linus Pauling Institute, sodium ascorbate is a form of Vitamin C which is more bioavailable than the more known ascorbic acid. Bioavailability is defined as the degree to which a nutrient becomes available to the target tissue after its administration. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered mineral salt of ascorbic acid, making it less acidic. Because of this, it is a good alternative for ascorbic acid when it comes to people experiencing gastrointestinal problems because of the latter.

Benefits of Sodium Ascorbate
Like other vitamin C supplements, sodium ascorbate is most effective for preventing or treating a deficiency of vitamin C. While it’s best to get all your vitamin C from fruits and vegetables, taking a supplement can ensure you meet your daily requirement. Consuming the right amount of vitamin C ensures you'll benefit from its antioxidant protection. You also need it to produce collagen, heal wounds and keep your immune system healthy. If you take sodium ascorbate regularly, it may shorten the duration and severity of a cold, reports a review published in the “Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews” in January 2013.
Determine the Dose
At large doses your body begins to absorb less vitamin C, so you’ll get the most benefit from your supplement by taking it in smaller doses more frequently. Some studies suggest taking 250 to 500 milligrams twice daily with meals, reports the University of Maryland Medical Center. To determine how much you need, track your intake to see if your diet provides the required amount. For women, that means getting 75 milligrams daily, while men need 90 milligrams. If you smoke, you should consume 35 milligrams more than the RDA each day. Don’t exceed the safe upper intake amount -- 2,000 milligrams daily -- without consulting your health care provider.
More about Sodium Ascorbate:
Antiascorbic acid sodium, known as vc-Na, is used as a vitamin supplement in medicine to supplement the deficiency of VC. Used as an antioxidant in foods and beverages to prevent discoloration and change in food and drink. VC-Na is an ideal preparation when you need a VC that is easy to dissolve and is not sour. VC-Na is about 0.88 grams of VC per gram.
