I've read that it is useless to take vitamin c, and you should get it naturally. Is this synthetic man made vitamin c and useless like the rest?

I have found this form of Vitamin C to be quite powerful. I can usually take one packet with water or juice and it stops any immune system dysfunction in its tracks almost immediately. It is worth every penny!!! As I understand it, LypoSpheric Vitamin C goes almost immediately into your blood stream. The Vit C (1,000 mg per packet) is delivered in a base of Lyposomal NanoSpheres, essential Phospholipids (1,000 mg's from soy lecithin). There is no sugar, starch, artificial flavors, colors, animal products/dairy, wheat/gluten or yeast. Hope this helps.

I don't see why a male couldn't benefit from this however, I use the RoC Wrinkle Filler. And although I see the ingredients in this has Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) I prefer to use a more potent form of Vitamin C (20%) and Vitamin A (Retinol).

Hi Mr R.,It is in the form of L-ascorbic acid which is naturally occurring in food sources, unlike D-ascorbic acid which must be chemically synthesized. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

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.

You are joking, right? Ascorbic acid contain no calories, but if it did, would you not want to take it? Besides, why didn't you look this up on Google? That's what it's for.

Vitamin C becomes unstable in a relatively short time once it is mixed with a liquid. I had the powder form of C and mixed as needed for about 6 or 7 months then noticed that when I mixed it with liquid the liquid stayed an orangey color,which means the powder vit. C was no longer any good. Time to buy new. And a reason to buy smaller quantities of it.

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.

On the ingredients ( on the package it says C13-14. Not sure if that is the vitamin c reference or there is another medical term for vitamin C. I have no idea, I'm just a consumer. I just purchased my second bottle today. There is an 800 number on the package if you have questions. Good luck! It works! Just use sunscreen! The spots will fade but when exposed to the Sun they will pop back up, especially if you have melisma. They will fade however with this product, when not exposed to tons of sun.

This multi-vitamin is a fantastic balance of vitamins and minerals made from whole foods. But yes, it is missing some minerals of importance, depending on your diet. Iron is not included in this one, though generally men are not prone to a deficiency of iron. An iron supplement is a cheap addition if you need it.

Your idea that ascorbic acid is only a derivative of GMO corn is incorrect. I've got a tangerine tree in my backyard covered in vitamin C filled fruit right now... and my jalapeno peppers have even more. Vitamin C sources are everywhere. I don't know where you got that idea it only comes from GMO corn.

GMO! I bought it thinking it was not. I will be returning it. Google GMO free vitamin C. There's one made in England.

Methylcobalamin contains NO CYANIDE! And it is NOT mixed with this or any other vitamin. Period.

In laymen's terms: It's pretty big, not the biggest capsule I've ever ingested. My 1000mg Vitamin C is bigger.They are easy to fill and close so I would but them again.
