Question about Vitamin C & rose hips

[Guest guest]

I have some vitamins from CVS. Are they SCD legal?

Natural Vitamin C 500mg usp with Rose Hips

Other ingredients: Cellulose (plant origin), Croscarmellose, vegetable

searic acid, silica, vegetable magnesium stearate

The label says there is no yeast, wheat, milk or milk derivatives,

lactose, sugar, preservatives, artificial color, artificial flavor,

salt.

Thanks,

The only ingredient in this that I'm not familiar with is the croscarmellose. I

could not remember if this one is okay or not.

Here's the Wikipedia definition:

<<Croscarmellose sodium is an ingredient in medical formulations. It is highly

absorbent and insoluble (like a sponge). This brings the remaining ingredients

into better contact with bodily fluids and improves their bioavailability.

Chemically, croscarmellose sodium is the sodium salt of a cross-linked, partly

O-(carboxymethylated) cellulose.

Croscarmellose sodium was first used as a stabilizer in horse dietary

supplements.>>

=============

So, I *think* that this additive would be okay..... based on this definition,

since it is derived from cellulose, which is legal.... however, I'm just not

sure. It's not on our list of legal/illegal supplement additives on

www.pecanbread.com . I hope someone else can comment.

All the other additives look okay.

Whenever you have a question about a supplement you want to use, just compare

the labeled ingredients to that list that's in the " Supplements " section at

pecanbread.com.... before you ask on the list. Often times, you can puzzle it

out yourself.

Thanks for the info, Patti. I hadn't realized there was different info

on the main pecanbread site. I had scoured this Yahoo group prior to

posting.
