I don't think this directly answers your question but here's some info from the SmartyPants website: "PURITY: Your child gets ONLY the highest quality Organic, Eco, and Natural ingredients made in California with no artificial dyes or flavors, no High Fructose Corn Syrup or artificial sweeteners, and no gluten or casein." You can go here, scroll down, and view a large image of the label: https://store.smartypantsvitamins.com/kids/smartypants-single-bottle-30-day-supply.html.

I see the problem that there are two labels that people are answering in regards to. The original included both forms of folic acid. I see on the updated label there are still other synthetic forms of some of the other B-vitamins. (so I am passing on this product).

These vitamins contains all natural fruits and vegetable in a concentrated form. Read the label on the back. Iron is found in many of these plus make sure your child gets enough chicken and fish and some red meats. My grand daughter has been taking these for two years. She appears to be very healthy. I hope this helps with any concerns.

Considering most of its ingredients are derived from fruits, there's an unstated measure of vitamin C present. Ascorbate is a compound of vitamin C.

This product contains 'ascorbic acid', a synthesized, synthetic & incomplete attempt at Vitamin-C. Synthetic vitamins such as ascorbic acid act more like drugs in the body rather than whole food nutrients with all the available cofactors. Taking any synthetic vitamin can cause imbalances in the body and should be avoided.

Most manufacturers will NOT divulge that information. Please contact Bulk Supplements directly to see what they say. "Vitamin C" is manufactured almost solely in China via an industrial process that's purely synthetic or via microbial fermentation, so for the fermentation process there would definitely be GMO components, because the microbes (algae or bacteria) are genetically engineered. Here's a paper on how most vitamin supplements are produced today: Ascorbic acid production. From: Vandamme EJ. Production of vitamins, coenzymes and related biochemicals by biotechnological processes. J Chem Tech Biotechnol 1992; 53:313-327.

REAL vitamin C from organic fruits can be found in the Alive brand of powdered vitamin C. The ascorbic acid vitamin C in these and other capsules and pills is made from genetically modified corn.

Hi Sheri C., No they do not, found on the 5th screen shot down here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RZQNV8?ref_=pe_527950_34207380 However, I've since switched to this product and prefer it's non-synthetic formula over Solgar's synthetic formula. Take a gander: http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Vitamin-B-Complex-Capsules/dp/B0098U0SQO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=139715506&sr=1-1&keywords=vitamin+code+raw+b+complex Hope this helps you. Take care

There are around 100 different forms of vitamin K-2 (within the Menaquinone family-each designated "MK-#") available. Thus, if a bottle of vitamin K2 does not designate that it is "K-2 MK-7", then the form of vitamin K2 is most likely MK-1 or MK-4, both of which are quite inexpensively manufactured synthetically. Also, MK-7 is: harvested from NATTO (MK-7 is naturally produced by the bacteria that grow on fermented soy beans [aka: NATTO]); about 20 times more efficient/effective than other forms of vitamin K-2; and, though the bottles may say "contains soy", we've never heard of anyone having a soy reaction to MK-7 because it is harvested from the bacteria from NATTO not the soy itself. Respectively, when we buy vitamin K-2, we only use MK-7.

I would get them from a trusted source. I usually get mine from Whole Foods.

I just went to Bing and typed in "Alive multivitamin" and several websites came up that contain the label information. There are sooo many vitamins and minerals it'd take me a long time to type that all up but one website I found - Natures Way - showed the label information that'll answer your questions.

Each batch of vitamins comes from different vendors so that is a hard question to answer from a buyers stand point. The best is to ask Customer Service. Hope this helps.

In one teaspoon there 80% of the Vitamin A and 100% of the Vitamin D. Not sure if it is natural though.

This supplement was prescribed by my neurosurgeon for treatment of my neuropathy. It has help eased the pain on my foot, but I have to ask my doctor if the said pills are natural or synthetic. My suggestion is the to ask the manufacturer of this said supplement. Sorry I can answer your question at this point.
