POTASSIUM ASCORBATE is a salt derived from vitamin C that is totally non-toxic and free from side effects.
POTASSIUM ASCORBATE can be extemporaneously (i.e. without any preparation) obtained by dissolving ascorbic acid and potassium bicarbonate in water.
Potassium ascorbate is a chemical compound with the formula KC6H7O6.
POTASSIUM ASCORBATE is the potassium salt of ascorbic acid, which is a form of vitamin C.
The commercial preparation of potassium ascorbate is accomplished through chemical means.
Ascorbic acid and potassium bicarbonate are refined to a purity of at least 97 percent.
These two chemicals are then mixed in cold water to produce potassium ascorbate.
Potassium ascorbate provides a biologically available form of potassium and vitamin C, both of which are essential nutrients.
Potassium is a chemical element with the atomic number 19.
POTASSIUM is so-named because POTASSIUM ASCORBATE was first isolated in potash, which was originally produced by soaking plant ashes in water.
Potassium is essential for all forms of life.
Vitamin C is a collective term for a group of related compounds based on ascorbate.
This group also includes ascorbic acid and its salts.
Some oxidized forms of ascorbic acid such a dehydroascorbic acid also exhibit vitamin C activity.
Vitamin C is necessary for all life forms, although virtually all organisms can synthesize it from other substances.
The known exceptions include humans and some other primates, guinea pigs, capybaras and most bats.
Potassium ascorbate offers specific advantages compared to other methods of delivering potassium and vitamin C.
For example, potassium ascorbate is a chelator that allows it to bind other minerals.
This property allows potassium ascorbate to be easily transported and retained in the body.
Potassium ascorbate may also help to regulate hormone levels, which can support fertility.
Potassium ascorbate is a less acidic form of vitamin C than ascorbic acid, which may allow Potassium ascorbate to resist cellular degeneration.
This effect can help to manage degenerative conditions by eventually causing the responsible cells to die.
The alkalizing effect of potassium ascorbate can also manage degenerative processes by maintaining healthy levels of potassium.
This effect results from potassium ascorbates’s role as a potassium carrier within the cells.
The antioxidant properties of ascorbate also help to inhibit degenerative processes.
Potassium Ascorbate is a non-citric form of Vitamin that produces low allergic reactions and is well tolerated in the stomach.
Vitamin C has multiple properties:
Vitamin C promotes energy metabolism by reducing tiredness and fatigue; protects cells from oxidative stress and regenerates the reduced form of vitamin E; contributes to the normal function of the immune system, nervous system and psychological function; promotes the formation of collagen helping to maintain the normal functions of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, skin, teeth and gums; increases the absorption of iron.
Enriched with ribose.
Potassium ascorbate is a particular source of vitamin C in which ascorbic acid is in the saline form linked to potassium.
Potassium ascorbate provides vitamin C in a non-acidic form with a delicate action on the physiological gastric pH.
Potassium ascorbate is easily assimilated and bioavailable for the body.
CAS NO: 15421-15-5
The minimal requirement for potassium is thought to be between 1.6 and 2.0 g/day.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT POTASSIUM ASCORBATE
1) What is potassium ascorbate?
Potassium ascorbate is a salt derived from ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
Potassium ascorbate can be easily obtained by dissolving two components in cold water; ascorbic acid and potassium bicarbonate, which both have to be the pure crystallized form (purity level not less than 97%).
Potassium ascorbate is also a very strong antioxidant.
2) Why are these two components so important?
Ascorbic acid, which is obtained daily by our body through our everyday diet, is an important antioxidant and is essential for the active biological synthesis of collagen and connective tissues in our body.
Potassium ascorbate furthermore increases iron absorption, contributes to bone accretion (growth of bone mass and strength), improves our resistance power against infections, and strenghtens our immune system.
An ascorbic acid (vitamin c) deficiency can cause scurvy.
Potassium is a necessary regulator for living cell metabolism.
Potassium is a co-factor, i.e. an element that allows the proper functioning of enzymes and intracellular proteins.
3) Why should I use potassium ascorbate?
Because Potassium ascorbate has shown extraordinary actions (results) in the fight against degenerative diseases and regular intake, also preventive intake, strenghtens the immune system.
4) Can I decide the dosage for preventive intake myself, knowing the operating principles of Potassium ascorbate?
No, Potassium ascorbate is always better to seek medical advice first, either at the Pantellini Foundation or from your doctor or GP (if he/she is aware of the protocols in use) because the dosage is always related to both a person’s medical and family history (anamnesis, i.e. information linked to personal past medical and family health situation) and the assessment of particular clinical parameters (blood chemistry and electrolytes).
5) How does potassium ascorbate work?
Potassium ascorbate restores and maintains a correct concentration of intracellular potassium by reactivating a proper cell metabolism, and potassium ascorbate reverses the process of cell degeneration (if present).
Ascorbic acid represents a ‘means of transportation’ for potassium into the cell, and the compound indicates a protective mechanism for its own highly antioxidant characteristics.
6) Can I use (potassium ascorbate together with) other potassium supplements?
In principle you can only use other potassium supplements if there are/will be no changes to the proteinic and enzymatic intracellular structures that bind with potassium, because otherwise potassium ascorbate will have no effect since potassium ascorbate impedes the absorption of potassium in the cytoplasm (i.e. internal part) of the cell.
7) Does potassium ascorbate have any side effects?
No, there are no reported side effects of any type.
Potassium ascorbate can be taken for an indefinite time, obviously under regular review of the clinical parameters by either the Pantellini Foundation or your own doctor/GP.
8) Can I use potassium ascorbate when I have diabetes?
Yes, as long as you regularly check glucose and insulin levels (if taken), especially at the initial stages of the compound use.
9) How long should I continue taking potassium ascorbate?
We suggest taking potassium ascorbate for an indefinite time.
Ascorbic acid has a physiological life cycle of just a few hours before it gets excreted from the body through urine.
In order to avoid any risky situations to happen inside the body, it is necessary to take the compound
10) How is potassium ascorbate prepared?
Ascorbic acid and potassium bicarbonate in their purest crystallized form are extremely unstable and highly hygroscopic (i.e. tends to absorb humidity, hence alters).
Ascorbic acid is furthermore extremely photosensitive (i.e. it alters under (visible) sunlight and UV).
The sachets therefore have be to premeasured (in single units), vacuumed and sealed in order to stay out of contact with environmental humidity and light.
11) How is potassium ascorbate packed?
The sachets (small containers, single units) are made of aluminium, polyethylene and paper to protect the components from environmental humidity and sunlight.
