Even though ascorbic acid is more powerful fighting infections and perhaps even heart disease than mineral ascorbates, some people find that acorbic acid becomes harder to take by mouth as they age. The cells in our stomachs can tolerate the highly acidic environment. Sometimes lesions form at the bottom of the esophagus, as tissues leading to the stomach are not acid protected. If you experience discomfort while swallowing, and are not fighting the cold or the flu, sodium ascorbate powder can be an excellent choice. Both forms of vitamin C, ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate have similar health benefits.
The World's Finest Vitamin C (and Cardio-C and Ascorbade) use 100% pure L-ascorbic acid (DSM Quali-C*** not made in China). Ascorbic acid is form of vitamin C taken by the late 2-time Nobelist Linus Pauling in the amount of 18,000 mg daily, as reported in his 1986 book How To Live Longer and Feel Better.. Pauling took his ascorbic acid in water and he added some bicarbonate (baking) soda to make a delicious effervescent drink.
"I noticed that it was not entirely clear that the dramatic effects are always with ascorbic acid orally and sodium ascorbate intravenously. I have not been able to achieve the ascorbate effect with mineral ascorbates orally. Mineral ascorbates are fine forms of vitamin C but when you are really sick, the mitochondria are failing in their refueling of the free radical scavengers with electrons. The ascorbic acid carries 2 extra electrons per molecule where the mineral ascorbates seem to carry only one (plus per molecule the mineral ascorbates are heavier due to the mineral weighing more than the hydrogen the mineral replaces). So the mineral ascorbates are not potent enough to accomplish the ascorbate effect. There may be other reasons that we do not appreciate additionally. " - Robert Cathcart, MD.
Why Choose Ascorbic Acid?
Ascorbic acid (hydrogen ascorbate) is highly reactive, and the most powerful and fastest acting form of vitamin C. Ascorbate is made in the livers (or kidneys) of most animals. Very few species have survived to the present day without the genetic ability to make their own vitamin C. The few species that cannot make vitamin C include the guinea pig, a fruit bat, a few parrots and high order primates, including us - human beings.
In humans, ascorbic acid is fast acting when taken orally, in part because some of the ascorbic acid can be absorbed through the stomach lining into the blood stream. The mineral ascorbate forms of vitamin C must travel farther into the intestines. These non-acidic forms of vitamin C are slower releasing and the increased transit times in the gut provides a greater opportunity to degrade.
According to Robert Cathcart, MD, the world's leading vitamin C expert, twice as much of any other form of the vitamin is required to achieve therapeutic results when taken by mouth
Nobelist and Vitamin C Experts Linus Pauling and Robert Cathcart Were Unequivocal - "Ascorbic Acid is the most potent form of oral Vitamin C."
There are various forms of vitamin C, (e.g. ascorbic acid, and the mineral ascorbates, such as sodium ascorbate, potassium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, etc.), but not all forms are created equal. Vitamin C experts such as Linus Pauling PhD, Robert Cathcart III, MD, and Thomas Levy MD,JD, recommend just two forms of vitamin C orally: ascorbic acid and/or sodium ascorbate.
Note: Sodium Ascorbate is the only form of vitamin C that should be used intravenously.
