Description of Zinc Ascorbate
Zinc ascorbate, a mineral supplement combining zinc and vitamin C, boasts unique characteristics. Physically, it appears as a white, odorless powder with a fine texture. Unlike pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid), zinc ascorbate is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This property necessitates storage in airtight containers to maintain its powdery form. Chemically, zinc ascorbate is a coordination complex.
The zinc ion (Zn²⁺) forms bonds with two ascorbate anions (C₆H⁷O₆⁻), the ionized form of vitamin C. This bond between the mineral and vitamin enhances stability compared to pure ascorbic acid, making it less prone to degradation in light and moisture. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s zinc ascorbate.
