Is this a natural vitamin c source or a synthetic?

Most vitamin c is synthesized from corn. I try to always take vitamin c complex, that is with bioflavonoids and rutin and hesperidin (also flavonoids.) This makes it closer to the way vitamin c would occur in nature. Also, buffered c may help the absorption and utilization. If you want natural vitamin c, you have to get a supplement that has it extracted from foods, like amla, camu camu, peppers, and such. You'll pay considerably more for those and the potencies will be lower, but the natural vitamin c doesn't require as large a dose as synthetic.

HI, Some chewable Vit C can be from GMO. I don't know the source...but it helped my precancer get smaller and sustained release helps more than the chewable. Vit C from real lemon/lime/green pepper etc.. is the best. This has Rose Hips in it. 3000mg of Vit C is too much for me..nails break. 1000mg of this sustained release Vit C, twice a day is right for my body. This Vit C helps my health. Best wishes.

Your cells were not designed to deal with ascorbic acid but rather the whole vitamin C complex as this will cause a vitamin C deficiency. Avoid synthetic chemical isolates at ALL cost because they will created a deficiency of the very synthetic isolated vitamin you think is helping.

There may be one synthetic ingredient, but not 100% sure. I will contact Doctor's Best to verify. Check with me in one week. TOP CAT

The bottle does not provide any information. I will be using a different multivitamin after this bottle is empty because the vitamin C is in an incomplete form. The replacement is from Nutrigold. You may want to look into them. nutrigold.com

it's synthetic, although better than high fructose or table sugar, it is still synthetic

This is synthetic vitamin e, not natural. Considering how cheap the real, natural version is, no one needs to take these. When you see "DL" versus just "D," that means it's the synthetic version.

Ater doing a little research I found out that it is natural, not synthetic.

This seems to be the natural d-alpha tocopheryl. "The d-alpha form is natural vitamin E, which is derived from soybeans. The dl-alpha form is a manmade, synthetic vitamin E. Clinical studies done on vitamin E have shown the natural form to be better absorbed compared to the synthetic form."

This product uses "Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate" (Vitamin C). It is listed just like this, but without the quote marks.

The bottle says serving size 5.4 grams (1.5 teaspoons) 302mg of Natural occurring food source Vit C 503%. I love this brand as it is MUCH better than vitamin C from ascorbic acid (which is good if you need to relieve constipation in young ones. But this Vit c is from acerola berries and doesn't cause diarrhea as with ascorbic acid.

It isn't indicated in ingredients so I am assuming it doesn't have any vitamin c.

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.
