Is this ASCORBIC ACID the same as L-ASCORBIC ACID? Love all the supplements I've bought from you so far, but haven't bought this one, yet.

They are the same -- two different names for vitamin C. However, L-Ascorbate is different, an acid which loses one of its hydrogen molecules when mixed with water. They both are utilizable in the body as vitamin c.

The Label read Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). It does not show whether it is L-Ascorbic Acid or not.You should ask the seller to clarify if this is important.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know about Vit C complex. I'm switching to it immediately!!

Ascorbic acid is a form of vitamin c. It's toward the bottom of the ingredients list.

If it turns yellow it most definitely *is* oxidized and shouldn't be used. There is no benefit to oxidized vitamin C and I'd even guess that it could have the opposite of the intended effect. I personally stay far away from oxidized vitamins. That said, I don't see how a formula of plain ascorbic acid and water could be stable. It's a perfect recipe for fast oxidation.

No, the only ingredients it lists are: L-ascorbic acid and Ferulic acid. It doesn't show any other ingredients that I can see. Sandra

I have used a vitamin C Serusm and did submit a review on it. The product is Tru Skin Naturals Vitamin C Serum. Both theproduct and the customer service are excellent.

Bottle says Ascorbyl Phosphate. You may also want to contact the manufacturer. I'm the consumer.

All vitamin C is L-ascorbic, regardless of the source, and all vitamin C supplements are synthesized from the reichstein process. Vitamin C is a specific molecular structure of 11 hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Genetic modification has nothing to do with it's structure. There is no genetic material in Vitamin C.

After reading all of these posts about the fake ingredients I ordered from the company website, paying more. I now have the box with the ingredients and they are just the same as this product. So next time I will order from here. I have the Grandelash MD from their website. Go and compare.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had no idea until you mentioned it. I will try to look for another brand, but it seems almost impossible to find. There is an Indian, Ayurvedic fruit (AMLA? but am not sure) that is naturally high in vitamin C. It comes as a powder, and you can order it online. I suggest researching your sources though. I don't trust big/popular companies anymore. They are, as you say, all in it for the money and care nothing for the quality and nutritional benefits of the product.

Hi James, did you find and vitamin E with tocotrienols? I'm trying to find it, also. Surprisingly with no luck.

I also use this and am looking for a less expensive equivalent, I noticed the address on jars for both products look the same so I checked the full ingredients on the Viralys website and found the same ingredients as in the Tomlyn product, see for yourself... http://vetoquinolus.naccvp.com/product/basic/view/1005047 and... http://www.tomlyn.com/products/cat/vitamins-immune-support/immune-support-l-lysine-powder (find the Lysine powder)

I checked the actual container I bought (I had already thrown the box away) and it only lists that it contains 20% L-Ascorbic acid. It doesn't list anything other ingredient so I went on the US Patent & Trademark website to do a search for the product since it states on the back of the container that "this patented Vitamin C formulation......" but couldn't find anything but then that may have been that I wasn't searching the website properly as I am not familiar with the US Patent office. If my product had a patent I would definitely list the patent# directly on my product but this container doesn't show any patent number.

According to the company website, this vitamin C comes from the Acerola cherry. We've been using this product for a couple years now and it is the ONLY vitamin C we buy. It is a great product, overall, compared to the choices out there. Well worth the price. I had a question once and I contacted Healthforce Nutritionals and they were very knowledgable and helpful. My only problem with this product is the addition of maltodextrin to prevent sticking, as most maltodextrin is derived from corn.

It seemed exactly the same as the NOW Ascorbic C I used before. It is a finer grind than sugar and dissolves perfectly in water. I was very happy with this product by Nutribiotic.

I can answer this question by looking at the bottle we bought. I doubt that would help you very much as the answer depends on the date of manufacture for the vitamins you are buying.
