Description

L-Ascorbate-2-Phosphate is a stabilized, phosphorylated derivative of Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), designed to overcome the inherent instability of ascorbic acid in aqueous formulations. This compound is crucial for delivering the biological benefits of Vitamin C, including antioxidant activity and collagen synthesis, in a more bioavailable and shelf-stable form. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries for advanced skincare products, dietary supplements, and cell culture media.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: As a key active ingredient in anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions for its collagen-boosting and skin-brightening properties.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Used in stabilized vitamin C supplements for enhanced bioavailability and longer shelf life.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in cell culture media as a source of Vitamin C to promote collagen production in fibroblast and osteoblast cultures.
• Advanced Food Fortification: For applications requiring a more stable form of Vitamin C in functional foods and beverages.
• Veterinary Products: Incorporated into supplements and medicated feeds for animals.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reagent in enzymatic studies and biochemical assays involving antioxidant mechanisms.
