confused about this product.. why does 80 calories of this product have only 20% of the Vitamin C that 80 calories of blueberries has?

My guess is that because vitamin c is a water soluble vitamin, during the freeze dry process some of the vitamin c is so bound to the waste-water that it doesn't stay in the end product. You would have to send the waste-water out for analysis for a couple hundred dollars to find out if this is so and at what percent. You would also have to send a sample of the original batch of berries and have them analyzed for vitamin c content as well as the end freeze dried product for analysis. You're looking at about $600 in analysis to know if this is true or not. If they're claiming on their label a vitamin percent-they've already done a nutritional analysis and spent a good $400 to $1000 depending on which lab they sent it to-but this is required by FDA label laws.

It does not state on the bottle how much Vit C it contains. I just see it has hydroquinone, glycolic acid, licorice root extract & two other ingredients I don't recognize.

I have not found a product yet that discloses the percentage of the main ingredients we are looking for. I wonder why? We should know how much vitamin A, C, E. in skin care products we would like to use.

I have the same concerns. But to be honest you can't have that much produce in a cat food that is only 4 percent carbohydrate. I think it is just a marketing ploy and the food contains very little vegetable matter. Certainly not as much as the label wants you to believe. The can is not brimming with fruits and veggies. I might see one blueberry skin and a small cube or orange stuff (carrots?) in a 12.5 ounce can. When I do I just pick it out of the can. My girl has severe allergies and I wish they made an affordable food that didn't contain all that stuff.

Hi Frances...I don't know the answer, sorry, but it was recommended by my vascular surgeon. I understand that the other kind of B-12 (cyancobalin) is only partially converted to methylcobalamin by the body. The label skirts the issue. It says it is manufactured in a facility that meets FDA rerquirements, but then says the food and drug administration has not commented on the validity of the statements made on the label.Hope someone else can answer your question more definitively

Sorry, I am unable to provide you with a qualified response to your question. However, I strongly stand behind this product for my personal results over the year+ using it. I have never been a supplement fanatic but continue to take one FruitsMax every day after breakfast. I ran out a couple months ago and dI finitely noticed a difference when I went without.

my bag has no calorie information, i assume because there aren't any calories. the only ingredient is the ascorbic acid, no fillers, starches, nothing that might bring calories. i would assume zero calories.

Sorry, I just noticed your question. It states that there is not a significant amount of Vitamin C or Iron.

I have never grown blueberries, so I have no direct knowledge. This is essentially pure nitrogen which will give most plants a lot of plant growth which may be at the expense of fruit production.

Hey There, This is because they are not percentages, but rather milligrams of dosage info. For example, if you take a multivitamin, it might have 200% the Vitamin C you need for the day or it could list that as 1000mg. In this case, you're looking at how much glucosamine, MSM, etc is in the bottle. Hope that help!

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.

The vitamin c is not listed. It depends on how many cherries they use and how much vitamin c is in a cherry. It is 100% natural.

To be honest I am not sure. My ingredients does not list vitamin C either. I'd check with the manufacturer.Thanks

For the flavored packets (which are Maple & Brown Sugar, Apples & Cinnamon, and Cinnamon & Spice) serving size is one packet and there are 160 calories (20 from fat), for the plain "Original" it is 100 calories and (20 from fat). I just read the response from "Dragon Lady". I agree. The nutrition you gain by eating this product is far healthier then most of the other cereals out there, plus its oats which is healthier for your heart. Plus it is delicious, easy to make and convenient. Yes, sometimes I prefer cold cereal so you may not want to use this exclusively but I believe it is an excellent and healthy food choice to add to your pantry.

It's supposed to be 99.8% pure vitamin C. I add it to my moisturizer everyday which, of course, is a form of dilution.

I don't know how much. It doesn't say it.Tetrahexyklecyl ascorbate is contain as vitamin C. This one listed on the ingredients at the last so maybe not so much I guess.
