Vitamin C is an essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant well-known for maintaining immune health and function. But it’s more than an “immunity vitamin”. It also assists body detoxification, iron absorption, and collagen and cartilage production for healthy bones, skin, and teeth.

It’s important to ensure that you get enough vitamin C daily as your body cannot make or store it. Vitamin C is also one of the first nutrients to be depleted in a body under stress. Low vitamin C levels may lead to compromised immune function, premature ageing and painful joints.

BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient that plays a critical role in the development, health and function of many parts of the body, most notably the immune system.

WHY TAKE SODIUM ASCORBATE?

Sodium ascorbate is a mineral salt form of ascorbic acid. It’s a vitamin C supplement powder ideal for people who are sensitive to acidic substances. Sodium ascorbate is buffered and therefore less acidic and gentler on the stomach than pure ascorbic acid.

When mineral salts of ascorbic acid are consumed, both the mineral and the ascorbic acid portion are absorbed. For sodium ascorbate, individuals following a low-sodium diets for blood pressure reasons are advised to not consume more than 2500mg of sodium per day.

This product is also beneficial for use post exercise to help replace lost sodium in sweat and the vitamin C helps the body to repair and recover from exercise stress. Melrose Vitamin C Sodium Ascorbate comes in a convenient powdered form, which adds the convenience of no pills to swallow and tighter dosage control.

Another use for Melrose Vitamin C Sodium Ascorbate is to use in baths to neutralise the chlorine. Chlorine absorption through the skin can lead to irritation and drying. Vitamin C is a safe and easy way to neutralise the chlorine in your bath.

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN C?

Vitamin C is naturally found in fruits and vegetables. But the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that daily only about 50% of Australians eat enough fruit and less than 10% get in their veggies.

If your diet is lacking, you may not be consuming enough vitamin C.

Signs of vitamin C deficiency include:

• Bleeding gums
• Easily bruised skin
• Rough and dry skin
• Swollen and painful joints
• Dry and splitting hair
• Slow wound healing
• Getting regular colds

Melrose Vitamin C Sodium Ascorbate makes it easy to supplement your vitamin C if you feel your diet may be lacking in fruit and vegetables.
