Your Reliable Source for High-Performance Vitamin C Solutions

When your production needs go beyond basic ingredients, our Ascorbic Acid becomes the difference-maker. We deliver the consistent quality and reliability that global brands rely on to create standout supplements, stable beverages, and fortified foods. This isn't just about moving powder—it's about building trust and ensuring your production lines run smoothly without ingredient-related headaches.

What Exactly is Ascorbic Acid?

Commonly known as Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid is a water-soluble nutrient and powerful antioxidant that the human body can't produce naturally. But here's what matters for your manufacturing: it's a true workhorse ingredient. We provide L-Ascorbic Acid, the biologically active form found in nature, ensuring your products deliver measurable results. Yes, it's sensitive to heat, light, and air—that's why our handling and packaging protocols are specifically designed to protect its integrity throughout the supply chain. The crystalline structure we maintain guarantees stability in storage and consistent performance in your final products.

Where Can You Use Ascorbic Acid in Your Products?

Our Ascorbic Acid solves real formulation challenges. Its versatility makes it essential across multiple applications. From preventing oxidation in beverages to ensuring tablet stability in supplements, it handles the tough jobs in your production process.

In Dietary Supplements:

  • Core Nutrient: The primary active ingredient in high-potency Vitamin C tablets, capsules, and powders where dosing accuracy is critical
  • Antioxidant Booster: Works synergistically with Vitamin E for enhanced cellular protection—a combination your customers actively seek
  • Formulation Aid: Its natural acidity supports disintegration and stability in solid forms, directly improving bioavailability and shelf life
  • Mineral Absorption: Significantly enhances iron absorption in multivitamin formulations, adding valuable functionality

In Food & Beverage Manufacturing:

  • Natural Preservative: Effectively prevents browning in fruits and rancidity in fats, extending shelf life without artificial additives
  • Nutrient Fortification: Ideal for fortifying juices, dairy alternatives, and cereals to meet specific health claims and labeling requirements
  • Functional Additive: In meat products, it maintains appealing color while reducing nitrosamine formation for cleaner labels
  • Dough Conditioner: Strengthens gluten development in baking applications, resulting in improved bread volume and texture

Emerging Applications: We're seeing growing interest in Ascorbic Acid for cosmetic formulations, premium pet nutrition, and specialized clinical nutrition. Our technical team can provide specific guidance on effective incorporation strategies for these expanding markets.

Quality That Builds Confidence

Trust comes from verifiable data, not marketing claims. Our quality assurance begins with rigorous producer selection, partnering exclusively with facilities that meet stringent global standards. Every batch undergoes comprehensive testing using HPLC methodology to confirm ≥99% purity. That number matters immensely—it translates to predictable performance in your formulations, batch after batch. We handle the extensive quality verification so you can concentrate on product development and market expansion.

Our testing protocol extends beyond basic purity analysis. We routinely check for heavy metals (including lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), monitor moisture content, and verify specific rotation to ensure top-tier quality. Strict microbiological controls make it suitable for even the most sensitive applications. When you receive our Ascorbic Acid, it has already cleared multiple quality checkpoints with documented results.

Supply Chain Reliability You Can Build On

In today's volatile market, consistent ingredient availability separates successful manufacturers from the rest. Our Ascorbic Acid supply network is engineered for transparency and dependability. We collaborate with logistics specialists to ensure your orders arrive on schedule and in perfect condition, complete with all necessary documentation for seamless customs clearance.

We maintain strategic inventory levels to respond quickly to your production requirements—because manufacturing downtime costs real money. Our flexible packaging options, ranging from 25kg drums to 1000kg bulk containers, are designed to fit your operational needs while protecting product integrity during transit and storage. This logistics expertise translates to one less operational concern for your purchasing and production teams.

Technical Specifications for Informed Decision-Making

Clear, actionable data helps you make smarter formulation choices. Our standard Ascorbic Acid powder features consistent particle size distribution (95% passing 80 mesh) for excellent flow characteristics and uniform mixing. It complies with USP and FCC standards, ensuring global market acceptance. For specialized requirements—such as fine powders for rapid dissolution or granulated versions for direct compression applications—we can guide you toward optimal solutions.

The material's specific rotation falls between +20.5° to +21.5°, confirming correct stereochemistry and high purity. With loss on drying typically below 0.4%, it demonstrates excellent stability and suits even moderately hygroscopic formulations. These precise specifications help ensure your products deliver consistent performance year after year.

Addressing Stability Challenges Proactively

We understand that Ascorbic Acid's sensitivity to oxidation can present formulation hurdles. Our support extends beyond supply—we share practical strategies to protect Vitamin C potency in your finished products. From packaging recommendations to antioxidant synergies and storage best practices, we provide field-tested insights gained from collaborating with manufacturers worldwide. This partnership approach helps you avoid common stability issues and create products that maintain their efficacy throughout their shelf life.
