We are a manufacturer of zinc ascorbate powder, a unique organic zinc salt formed by stoichiometrically combining zinc ions with L-ascorbic acid.
Zinc ascorbate forms a salt with zinc ions via the carboxylation group of L-ascorbic acid, simultaneously providing two essential nutrients, zinc and vitamin C, within a single molecule. Zinc exists in an organic chelate form, offering superior bioavailability compared to inorganic zinc salts; vitamin C exists stably as the ascorbate ion. The two achieve chemical synergy within the same molecule, rather than physical mixing. Clinical studies have demonstrated that combined zinc and vitamin C supplementation has a synergistic effect in supporting immune function, maintaining the skin barrier, protecting cognitive function, and providing antioxidant defense.

Benefits of Pure Zinc ascorbate powder
Supports normal immune function: Zinc plays a role in the normal activation and proliferation of immune cells, while vitamin C participates in the protection of immune cells.
Participates in the body's antioxidant defense system: As an antioxidant ingredient, it helps fight free radicals and reduce oxidative damage.
Helps maintain normal skin health: Zinc participates in collagen synthesis and skin barrier function, and vitamin C also plays a role in collagen formation.
Supports wound healing: Both zinc and vitamin C play a supporting role in tissue repair and cell regeneration.
Exhibits antibacterial activity in vitro: Studies have shown that zinc ascorbate has in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
Supports normal protein and DNA synthesis: Zinc participates in DNA synthesis and protein metabolism during cell division.

Production Process
Product Quality Advantages
High Active Content: Zinc content 14.5%–17.0% with vitamin C ≥75%, providing high nutrient density and low inclusion rates.
True Chemical Compound: A single-molecule zinc ascorbate salt, not a physical blend of zinc salt and vitamin C, ensuring uniform composition .
Consistent Monohydrate Form: Controlled crystallization ensures reproducible monohydrate stoichiometry with stable loss on drying (≤5.0%).
Neutral pH (5.0–7.0): Significantly less acidic than ascorbic acid, reducing potential gastric irritation and tooth enamel erosion .
Excellent Water Solubility: Soluble at >100 g/L at 20°C, suitable for clear liquid applications without sedimentation .
Good Flowability: Fine powder with ≥0.75 g/cc bulk density and 100% pass 40 mesh, suitable for high-speed encapsulation and tableting .

FAQ
Q: Why is the zinc content (15%) lower than zinc oxide (80%)?
A: Zinc ascorbate has a higher molecular weight due to the ascorbate anion. The lower zinc content per gram is normal for this mineral form. This allows for better solubility and a neutral pH profile, which are important for many applications.
Q: What is the difference between zinc ascorbate and zinc ascorbate monohydrate?
A: The monohydrate form contains one water molecule of hydration per zinc ascorbate molecule, which contributes to stability and crystalline structure. Both forms are suitable for nutritional applications; our product is the monohydrate form .
Q: Is Pure Zinc ascorbate powder suitable for clear liquid beverages?
A: A: Yes. Zinc ascorbate is water-soluble (>100 g/L) and produces clear to slightly hazy solutions, making it suitable for fortified waters, immunity shots, and clear beverages .
Q: Does this product have a metallic taste?
A: No. Zinc ascorbate has a neutral to slightly adstringent taste profile, lacking the metallic aftertaste associated with zinc gluconate, zinc sulfate, or zinc picolinate.
Q: How's shipping handled?
A: We ship globally by express, air, or sea-pick the speed that matches your plan (and your patience).
