NOW Supplements, Sodium Ascorbate Powder, Buffered, Antioxidant Protection*, 8-Ounce

Post pool life saver. Used as a chlorine remover.

Chlorine remover extraordinaire. I am a part time swim instructor and although I love teaching kids how to swim, I HATE that my skin always reeked of chlorine. No matter how soon after getting out of the water you shower, you still end up smelling like chlorine. That's because it absorbs into your skin and doesn't actually "wash" away with soap. Also over time it builds up on your skin and can cause swimmers itch/rash. This is an absolute must have for me any time I'm going in the water. The vitamin C binds with the chlorine and actually rinses off your body. The main reason you can't buy a spray commercially is the effectiveness is short lived. I use one tablespoon per 8 oz of water. for use in a 24 hour period. If it's more than a day, I make a new spray. It's so wonderful to not smell like chlorine anymore. If you have sensitive skin, swim often, or just hate the smell of chlorine, I recommend giving this a try

Very good quality. I used it topically to treat a skin cancer and it destroyed the bad cells. I also took it orally to boost my immune system, very good results fighting some ancillary infection. The body has a hard time absorbing ascorbic acid, to assimilate vitamin C it should be a mineralized powder, as is the L-Sodium Ascorbate here. Great for fighting colds. I've been using Now Foods products for years and most of their products are exceptional

Best EVER! Saved my daughter from whooping cough.

My daughter was 5 months old when she came down with whooping cough, talked to many people who said to give doses of this, and the difference was AMAZING! She recovered really quickly and if I missed a dose you could tell the toxins were building back up and she would get worse again until I gave it again. Highly recommend

Vitamin C to the rescue!

I've been taking this daily for about a month and I used to get sick a lot but I've not been sick like at all! I always get a seasonal cold that knocks me down. This year I got a little sniffle and moved on with life! Every one around me caught this horrid stomach bug several different times and I've been healthy even with having a newborn to nurse all night and get no sleep.. Don't get the flu sh*t actually build your immune system! Keep your body safe and healthy. This is a easily absorbed type of V.

Part of My Permanent Routine Now

Guys, this stuff is a game-changer. It is now a part of my normal routine and I don't see that ever changing! The number of times I get sick a year has gone down DRASTICALLY! I am one of those people that gets sick all the time (having bad allergies doesn't help) and I always catch whatever is going around when/if something is. That has all changed. I take 1/2 tsp first thing every morning mixed with a tall glass of water and sometimes add lemon for flavor. I also have a sensitive stomach (gastritis/acid problems) and this is absolutely perfect for that. Zero irritation from using this powder. I tell everyone I know about it and have gotten almost all of them using this now. A real winner

Very good product

Very good. I'm using this along with potassium citrate, at the proper amounts to equal very close to our sweating ratio and what the body needs in ratio. Approx. 1 part Sodium, to 1.5 parts potassium. Bottom line: 200mg Sodium, 125mg Potassium. You have to convert the mgs to how many teaspoons using 1/8 tsp up to 1/2 tsp

High quality sodium ascorbate!

We bought this for a whooping cough outbreak and it is great! It dissolves about as quickly as can be expected and really helped with the severity of the coughing for my kiddos. When added to some kind of juice, you can't taste it unless there is a very high concentration of it. My kids noticed a difference immediately and also mentioned how much better their stomachs felt after taking this versus ascorbic acid

Doesn't seem to work as well as other brands I've used.

I've been using sodium ascorbate for probably 10-15 years, somewhere around there. For the longest time, I used to order a 2.2 lb tub of the stuff from Bronson Labs. It would last me such a long time, that the stuff would start to yellow (clear sign of oxidation), so I started, finally, buying other brands here on Amazon. This NOW Brands one, just doesn't seem to work the same as the Bronson Labs one did. This is the 2nd failed Sodium Ascorbate attempt I've had in replacing it. Obviously my next purchase will be going back to my original. I don't feel the terrific benefits of Vitamin C in this brand. I typically consume 5-10g of Vitamin C daily, so I've been using Sodium Ascorbate for my near bowel tolerance doses. It's done a world of good for my body. However, this brand just doesn't do it for me for some reason
