Confidence: HIGH

ASCORBIC ACID

✅1/10

Ascorbic acid is vitamin C and is commonly added to infant formula and baby foods as a nutrient and antioxidant. For a 0 to 6 month old infant it is generally safe at the levels used in formula and fortified foods and helps meet dietary needs. Problems are rare, but very high supplemental doses can cause diarrhea, stomach upset, and increase iron absorption which could matter in rare iron overload conditions. Do not give additional concentrated vitamin C supplements unless advised by your pediatrician, follow formula preparation instructions and check total supplemental vitamins if any. Sources for warnings include the American Academy of Pediatrics, the US Food and Drug Administration, and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
