Here is Livon Labs's reasoning for using sodium ascorbate:

Quote:
The problem with using plain ascorbic acid resides in the blood, not the stomach. Large doses of pure ascorbic acid in the blood can induce acidosis, an increased hydrogen ion concentration in the blood plasma. This increased acidity condition can result in a plethora of highly dangerous conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis , respiratory acidosis, metabolic acidosis, renal tubular acidosis, anion gap acidosis, cellular acidosis, and the list goes on. Virtually all of these conditions, if not treated, can lead to death. This is why no medical professional uses straight ascorbic acid when giving an IV-Vitamin C infusion. When taken orally, ascorbic acid in small amounts can be tolerated in most cases. Although diabetics and folks with kidney problems should not take straight ascorbic acid. Many of our customers are accustomed to taking multiple gram doses at one time, several times a day. On several occasions, I myself have taken 30 grams in one day. Sodium ascorbate is proven safe at 10 times 30 grams and even more in a 24 hour period, and so we use it with confidence in the Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C.

My take on the above, I think they are being rather alarmist. Me, being a student of dilute hydrochloric acid therapy which is given IV, I would guess the pH of a 1:500 concentration of Hydrochloric acid to be much more severe than anything ascorbic acid could deliver and it can be very therapeutic! Anyway the above is the "company line" and reasoning.

I will repost my explanation for that as explained by Dr. Fergusson from
the 1930s:

"In health, the acid balance is maintained by the normal production of
hydrochloric acid in certain cells of the stomach; should this production
fall short of bodily necessity, the balance must be made up. Other acids,
which are the products of decomposition in the body, such as lactic acid,
fatty acids, carbonic acid, uric acid and others, are called in to fill the
HCl deficiency. These however being abnormal constituents of the great
chemical laboratory of the body (HCl is the only normally produced acid of
the body), are ill-adapted to the requirements, for they are unable to keep
in solution many of the salts which must be thrown off as waste matter in
bodily excretions, the sweat, the expired air, the urine and the feces. In
the effort for the body to provide acid of some sort these harmful acids,
become a monkey-wench in the machinery and the condition known as "acidosis"
results with symptoms of general systemic poisoning. Conversely, when the
hydrogen-ion concentration of lymph falls into the acid side, due to excess
production of lactic acid, fatty acids, carbonic acids, uric acid and like
poisons, there is an effort on the part of the body to neutralize these
with alkaline salts, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, ammonium and
others. These also, being foreign to bodily economy, produce the condition
known as "alkalosis", but often attended with general collapse."
