Guest guest Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 My naturopath wants me on vitamin C to help with bleeding. I pretty much know by now what to look for in terms of " other ingredients " that are added or that make up the capsule. But I was reading in Wikipedia about how Vitamin c is manufactured....and they make it from GLUCOSE. Is this okay? What brands/forms of C do you guys take? See below for a snippet... " Vitamin C is produced from glucose by two main routes. The Reichstein process, developed in the 1930s, uses a single pre-fermentation followed by a purely chemical route. The modern two-step fermentation process, originally developed in China in the 1960s, uses additional fermentation to replace part of the later chemical stages. Both processes yield approximately 60% vitamin C from the glucose feed.[157] Research is underway at the ish Crop Research Institute in the interest of creating a strain of yeast that can synthesise vitamin C in a single fermentation step from galactose, a technology expected to reduce manufacturing costs considerably.[20] " What do you think? Safe, right? Caroline SCD since 1/7/10 UC-->Crohn's since 1998 Remicade since 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
