buffered vitamin C -- corn? Sago palm vitamin C?

[Guest guest]

I've been using buffered vitamin C for my son, who is SCD & GFCFSF.

Our compounding pharmacist told me that ascorbic acid (source of

vitamin C for most vitamin Cs, including the buffered vitamin C I use)

is corn-derived. Is this true? He recommended using sago palm

vitamin C. Has anyone used this? Anyone know whether this will be as

gentle on the GI tract as the buffered vitamin C is?

Thanks,

Angie

Hi Angie,

Yes, most ascorbic acid is derived from corn, occasionally it's from

citrus instead. We recently bought the Twinlabs brand of corn-free

vit. C, which is palm-derived. It's called Allergy-C caps. That's

probably what your pharmacist was referring to. It also contains

calcium and magnesium.

It is free of all corn and citrus, it contains gelatin, calcium

stearate, MCT and silica. I called the company but didn't remember to

write down the derivatives of the other ingredients like I usually do.

The label says " the mineral carbonates are from the soil " . We haven't

tried it yet.

Re: Vitamin C, corn free.

Hi guys:

Multi Element buffered C from Klaire Labs is free of corn. I use it for my

daughter, she has very severe corn allergy.

Angie and others,

You can get a sodium ascorbate powder from BronsonLabs that is GMO-free and

non-acidic. Too much sodium is not always good for you either though;). Jenn

from ROSE HIPS?

I have been thinking about that too, and on my last trip to the health

food store I looked for it ... couldn't find any! I used to recall

seeing a lot of it, but that was back in the 70's hippie days (long

time ago, I'm old!)

If you find a brand, can you post the name and your experience with it?

I would find out what is it derived from. Most will say it is " corn

free " but when you push them find out it IS derived from corn. They

say it is " corn free " because the corn protein has been removed but

that is not enough for sensitive people. My son could never handle

vit C whether it was derived from corn or something else. Looks

like it was an oxalate issue.

fwiw,

I don't know what it is derived from. you can email them and ask, they are

great. I do know that they have the best quality products in the market, i

use them for myself, my sister and my 15mo daughter. the three of us share

terrible sensitivities and have had absolutely no problems with them. the

only thing that I use that is not from klaire is the Houston enzymes and

some oils, but the rest is only from klaire. it has been great for us.
