Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) as discussed by Désirée Röver

One of the most frequently asked questions after the podcast with Désirée Röver:

which vitamin C is she talking about and where can I buy it?

Well, right here.

Sodium ascorbate, the non-acidic form of vitamin C (E301), is a powerful antioxidant and a versatile dietary supplement that can be widely used for daily support of your body.

Unlike regular vitamin C (ascorbic acid), sodium ascorbate is gentle on the stomach and therefore also suitable for people who are sensitive to acidic variants or want to use higher dosages.

Désirée Röver's vision

Désirée Röver calls vitamin C, and for good reason,

“the greatest friend you have.”

She has been traveling the world for over 30 years with a jar of sodium ascorbate in her bag, convinced of the power, simplicity, and versatility of this supplement.

For her, it's a staple in her daily routine.

The benefits of sodium ascorbate

Sodium ascorbate distinguishes itself in several ways:

• Unlike ascorbic acid, it does not cause an acidic burden on the stomach
• Supports the immune system and aids the body in recovery processes
• Acts as a powerful antioxidant and helps neutralize free radicals
• Flexible dosing, tailored to your needs

At higher dosages, your body often indicates when it has had enough.
A rumbling stomach or looser stools can be a signal; this is also seen as a natural way for the body to indicate balance.

The versatility of vitamin C

Sodium ascorbate is more than just a supplement:

• Can be used daily to support your health
• Can be used as an antioxidant to protect cells
• Can be used as a natural preservative for fruits, juices, and other foods

This versatility makes it a favorite among people who are conscious about nutrition and health.

Usage & application

Simply dissolve the powder in water, juice, or another drink.
Its neutral (non-acidic) taste makes it easy to take, even in higher doses.

Many people choose to spread their intake throughout the day.

Sodium ascorbate is a mild form of vitamin C that easily dissolves in water or can be stirred into your yogurt. The common dosage is 1 to 3 grams per day, spread throughout the day. This allows your body to absorb it gradually. Some people take more, but that really varies per person. If you are in doubt or have complaints, always check with a doctor. Build up slowly and listen to your body.
