Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitaminC scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.24-31 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation.32,33 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.28-30

Comments about Life Extension Ascorbic Acid Powder, 454 grams (16 oz):
I have used powders for all of my supplements (which I believe to be most efficiently used by the body) 2-3 times a day for the past 17 years and I have been able to improve my health and maintain it in good standing along with a healthy lifestyle.
