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.

Not the synthetic, but natural d-alpha. However, the oil it is mixed with is gmo, if you care. I took it for years, but have switched to a non-gmo source.

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.

No, these Vitamin C's are very clean and have only organic fruits and berries and the capsule is vegetarian

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

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. Production of vitamins, coenzymes and related biochemicals by biotechnological processes. J Chem Tech Biotechnol 1992; 53:313-327.

It is a Vit C Serum. We would suggest after application that you follow with a good quality moisturizer that will help to seal in all the goodness of the Vitamin C Serum and the organic ingredients.

http://www.holisticallyhaute.com/2012/05/product-spotlight-neocell-collagen-and-hyaluronic-acid.html This webpage says: "In December I received an email from a reader wondering if the Vitamin C in NeoCell's products is non-GMO. I checked with them, and was assured that all NeoCell ingredients come from non-GMO sources and that certification is in the works."

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

Vit C is 0% and Iron is at 30% It does not address as synthetic...so I would assume non synthetic. Sorry for delyed response

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?

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

Neither. Ascorbates are buffered with minerals. This is pure ascorbic acid.

There is no mentioning of vitamin C, hmmm, strange. Thanks for pointing it out!

It's in capsules. You don't taste it. All vitamin C is sour. Sweetener is added to some to make it taste better.

the actual product is gmo free since it's just pure ascorbic acid, but the material it's probably made from is probably gmo corn. think about how cheap this product is vs the alternatives that aren't sourced from gmo corn.
