Nutrigold Vitamin C Gold (Organic, Food-Based), 240 mg, 90 veg. capsules

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is responsible for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body. Because the human body cannot produce Vitamin C, it must be obtained through the diet or by supplementation. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and excess Vitamin C is not stored in the body; for this reason, Vitamin C levels must be continually replenished via diet or supplementation.

Vitamin C - Food-based Vs. Synthetic
Most manufacturers of Vitamin C supplements take isolated Ascorbic Acid and marketed it as a natural Vitamin C product. However, the reality is that the Ascorbic Acid in the majority of Vitamin C supplements in the market is synthesized in labs from genetically modified and chemically produced corn. In China, which supplies 80% of the world's Vitamin C, genetically modified microbe species that oxidizes Sorbose into 2-ketogluconic acid (2-KGA) undergoes the ring-closing lactonization via dehydration producing Ascorbic Acid.

Food-based Vitamin C, on the other hand, is sourced from foods that are naturally rich in Vitamin C including berries (e.g. amla, camu camu, acerola), citrus fruits (e.g. orange), and green vegetables (e.g. asparagus, avocado), is 100% natural, and free of genetically modified organisms.
