This product uses "Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate" (Vitamin C). It is listed just like this, but without the quote marks.

Yes, it contains Vitamin C as "Ascorbyl Glucoside". It doesn't say what percentage but it's about half-way down the list of ingredients. I like this product.

No, it is sodium ascorbyl phosphate. It is a water soluble form of vitamin c that functions as an antioxidant. It is formed by mixing ascorbic acid with other substances to form a salt. According to research, it retains the same properties as pure vitamin c but is more stable.

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.

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 selenite I sure hope that I spelled everything correctly. I am sorry, but I cannot explain what most of these ingredients actually are.

The actual bottle label indicates "magnesium (as magnesium citrate) and ascorbyl palmitate" which is a fat-soluble vitamin C ester: an antioxidant used to prolong shelf life. Be aware: these capsules are +3/4" long (horse pills).

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.

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.

From the Livestrong website: Regardless of whether or not the "L" shows up in front of ascorbate or ascorbic acid, all vitamin C has an "L" designation. This provides biochemists with information about the specific orientation of the atoms that comprise ascorbic acid and ascorbate. As such, L-ascorbic acid is chemically identical to ascorbic acid, and L-ascorbate is chemically identical to ascorbate--all naturally occurring vitamin C has an "L" configuration of atoms, explain Drs. Mary Campbell and Shawn Farrell in their book "Biochemistry."

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.

Yes it is in gelatine (clear) capsules. I have never hear of that as being a trigger like that as the amount is so small. I would boost up your ascorbate vitamin C intake to 10,000+ mg a day and see if that helps.

The amount of L-asorbic acid (Vitamin C) in this is 20%. I do believe they have others which have less a percentage of Vitamin C. Hope this is helpful.

The bottle does not provide any information. I will be using a different multivitamin after this bottle is empty because the vitamin C is in an incomplete form. The replacement is from Nutrigold. You may want to look into them. nutrigold.com

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.
