Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. Ascorbic Acid is the chemical name for Vitamin C. It is chemically identical to the form of Vitamin C found naturally in fruits and vegetables. The name Ascorbic Acid refers to its chemical structure — it is an organic acid with antioxidant properties. Whether labelled as Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid, the compound is the same. This product provides 100% pure Ascorbic Acid with no added ingredients.
-
Vitamin C has eight EU-authorised health claims. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage, bones, teeth, gums and blood vessels, normal energy-yielding metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal psychological function, normal functioning of the nervous system, and increased iron absorption.
-
One level teaspoon provides approximately 5g (5000mg) of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). The EU Nutrient Reference Value for Vitamin C is 80mg per day. A teaspoon therefore provides significantly more than the NRV — powder format allows you to adjust your serving size to suit your individual requirements or follow professional guidance. Smaller amounts can be measured using a kitchen scale for greater precision.
-
Vitamin C powder offers a flexible alternative to capsules or tablets. Because it contains only pure Ascorbic Acid, you can easily adjust the serving size to suit your individual requirements or follow professional guidance. Its fine texture dissolves readily in water, fruit juice and smoothies, making it suitable for those who prefer not to swallow capsules. Health Leads also offers Vitamin C in 650mg capsules for those who prefer a fixed daily dose.
-
High intakes of Vitamin C may cause mild digestive discomfort including loose stools in some individuals. If you have a history of kidney stones or a condition affecting iron metabolism such as haemochromatosis, consult your doctor before taking high-dose Vitamin C. At the NRV dose (80mg), Vitamin C is very well tolerated. At higher doses, individual tolerance varies.
