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.

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.

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.

It also says GMO-free on Amazon's product details. I hope they also mean that with the cornstarch.

Not sure. The package is not labeled GMO Free but it is gluten free, that's why I use this product.

Package only says all natural, no chemicals, no preservatives and no additives. Nothing about GMOs so I suspect they are not GMO free or they would be touting it but I don't know for sure.

As previous posters note, the current label does say Non-GMO. I think the confusion comes from an earlier label for the product which does not have the Non-GMO notation. In years past, GMO crops weren't 'on the radar' like they are now. This seems to be a quality product.

There's technically nothing that says that it is gmo you could contact the company and ask them

I don't know of any GMO coconut trees so it probably is GMO free. My understanding is that coconuts are typically organic (not sprayed anyway) which fits in with my experience of travelling in tropical countries where they seem to grow just fine all over the place.

The package is not labeled as organic or non-GMO so I wouldn't expect either. Maybe the distributor will read this and answer.

I'm sorry, but I can't say. My last order was cancelled (out of stock), and I have none to refer to. I'm not sure, but I don't recall the label saying it's non-GMO, so I suspect it isn't.

On the front label it does say "Tested Non GMO". It does not say GMO Free or Non GMO Certified.

It is certified organic so I don't think it could be GMO even if the package doesn't specifically say NON-GMO.

I sent this back. I bought Garden of Life organic plant calcium which has NO GMO. Look it up on amazon. It's a little pricey,but its worth it. Good luck!a

I would say unless it says GMO-free, it is probably GMO. If it wasn't they'd advertise it.

NOT GMO. All their products are certified organic and by definition cannot be GMO. Order direct from them, though. Better prices and faster shipping.

It is organic so I think it is non-GMO. It does not say anything about it on the label.

No, the packages being shipped are no longer shown with Non-GMO label. Hence it is not a guarantee anymore that these are non-GMO!!!
