Do ascorbic bitter and sodium ascorbate enjoy indistinguishable benefits seeing as they're both forms of vitamin C anyway?
Answers:
Ascorbic acid is used to prevent and treat scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C surrounded by the body.
Mineral ascorbates are salts of ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C). They are powders manufactured by reacting ascorbic acerbic with mineral carbonates in aqueous solutions, venting the carbon dioxide, drying the antipathy product, and then milling the dried product to the desired particle size.
The choice of the mineral carbonates can be calcium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, or many other mineral forms. Ascorbates are importantly reactive antioxidants used as food preservatives.
Ascorbate salts may be better tolerated than the corresponding weakly acidic ascorbic acid. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascorbic_ac…
