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

Per Halo comment: The company writes "we are not ordering new products at this time..." So is this just a packaging facility? Where does their "product" ship from, I'm hoping not China. I was just about to order MSM but will hold off until I can find out. Haven't forgotten the pet food fiasco yet.

Ascorbic acid is the chemical name for vitamin C. If there is no designation in front of ascorbic acid, then the acid is understood by biochemists to be L-ascorbic acid, with the same configuration of atoms as that in naturally occurring vitamin C. There is a D-ascorbic acid form which does not occur in nature and is synthesized. It has less vitamin C activity in the body. The L and D labels refer to molecular arrangements: L for levo, twisting to the left: d means dextro, twisting to the right.

I purchased Bulk Ascorbic Acid power directly from Bulk Supplements more than 2 years ago and it is still effective. However, I have kept it in its original package and put the package in an air tight container. Most recommend 6 months. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. They do make a Vitamin C Complex 90 tabs or 180 tabs NOW Foods C-1000 Buffered C with 250mg Bioflavonoids Sustained Release 180 Tablets that has calcium ascorbate, but no other minerals. That's the one I really wanted, but I ordered the wrong one.

Oh wow, it's going to take me twenty minutes to type this out! :^) Animal digest, Enterococcus Faecium, L-Ascorbyl-2 Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Vitamin E supplement, Beta-Carotine, Zinc proteinate, Taurine, Salt, Manganese proteinate ferrous sulphate, Copper proteinate, Calcium iodate, Sodium seleniteI sure hope that I spelled everything correctly. I am sorry, but I cannot explain what most of these ingredients actually are.

Yes, I would like to understand how this product seems to be identical and claims to help both leg cramps and acid reflux. It makes me very skeptical. How can I get answers about this concern?This makes me skeptical about this claim.

I'm not sure what it is made from, but according bulk supplements' website it is non-gmo. I prefer this too. :) http://www.bulksupplements.com/ascorbic-acid-vitamin-c-crystalized-powder.html

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

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 actually went to the website and read all about this vitamin and the different ways to administer. I did not see anything about Ascorbic Acid - but I do know that my grandma used it in canning: One-quarter teaspoon is just over 1,000 mg, anything less means it has fillers. you can obtain more information from: http://www.livonlabs.com/ Because it is different, it needs to be mixed with a little water or juice or a shake. It is the best form of Vitamin C I have used. It does not bother my stomach, and I use 2 packets twice p/day. Hope this helps

L-Ascorbic acid (LAA) needs to be at an optimal pH of 3.5 or < to retain efficacy.This serum has Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate or SAP, which is a vitamin C ester, is more stable than LAA, and requires an optimal pH of 5.5 to 6 in a final formulation. Any pH less than that would render it ineffective.

One thing to watch for--does a product have something you can't have? I was going to switch to another product, but it has folic acid and cyanocobalamin in it. I can't have those forms, so thank heavens I didn't go full bore on Ultima or one of the others containing these versions of B vitamins.

There is nothing I was able to find on the packaging that said anything about vitamin C. Maybe go to company website and give them a call?

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'm late seeing this, but I emailed the company in June asking this question and this is the reply they sent: "Thank you for your interest in Mad Hippie! The percentage of Vitamin C needed in skin care products varies depending on the form of Vitamin C used. We use a very stable and bioavailable form of vitamin C called sodium ascorbyl phosphate. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is approximately twice as effective as L-ascorbic acid, the most commonly used form if Vitamin C used in skin care, which is not utilized as well by the skin. We use approximately a 10% concentration of sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is equivalent to about a 20% concentration of L-ascorbic acid in its effectiveness. Most of the L-ascorbic acid, when applied, sits on the skin's surface without being absorbed and utilized and often causes irritation as a result. The primary difference is that sodium ascorbyl phosphate, the form of vitamin C that we use, has a salt attached to it, allowing it to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier and making it more bioavailable. This also makes it much more stable and less prone to oxidation, which is a huge problem with L-AA." It's a great serum and company!
