The trick is that you have to have enough conjugation to knock out the blue end of the visible spectrum. In a molecule such as ascorbic acid - or more accurately dehydroascorbic acid - that is not really that hard to do.
Glutathione does disturb the course of the reactions, and possibly an equilibrium, among the irreversible products of dehydroascorbic acid. The control solution which contained dehydroascorbic acid initially and to which no glutathione was added invariably became brownish yellow after several hours. The solution to which glutathione was added after 2 hours incubation, i.e. after nearly all the dehydroascorbic acid had undergone its irreversible change, remained colorless even after 48 hours.
My nurse discovered recently that if you do not shake the mixture to make it go into solution until after you refrigerate it and are ready to use it that the solution is less yellow. I presume that this is good because sodium ascorbate is clear and dehydroascorbate is yellow. The made up solutions are always a little yellow but refrigeration before mixing results in a far less yellow mixture.
But she tried sodium ascorbate from wholesale nutrition. She mixes herself, and a) it was cold - no fever or herx, and b) it was clear?
Why would that be? Any ideas?
Can you summarize your findings?
Ascorbic Acid 95% Granulation is also sugar-free, since hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is used as a granulation aid. An additional product form with excellent tableting performance is Sodium Ascorbate 99% TG. This form uses pectin, which is very commonly used in many food products as a granulation ingredient.

My bet would be the sediment would be a very strong sodium residue since this is one of the electrolytes
Geez talk about complicating a simple problem.
"why is some sodium-ascorbate clear and other yellow in H20? (or Ringer´s solution)
Because it’s a reaction to the chemicals and minerals that’s in the concoction we call water.
can exhibit the same results as the uncontaminated product can.
