Natural Vitamin C supplement - UK

Hi - i'm looking for a Vitamin C supplement that isn't ascorbic acid. I can really only find ascorbic acid in the UK. Does anyone know of a brand I can use that is natural vitamin C?

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid but if you don't want synthetic ascorbic acid you might have to get it in whole food form like from Amla powder or a acerola cherry supplement.   Dr Garrett Smith has written about synthetic a.a. not being a  problem (nor is it a problem to take a.a. in isolation as in a supplement)  but that you should make sure it is not from a GMO source.

Sorry - forgot about the vA content of Amla and acerola cherry which they probably have some but maybe not alot?  Fresh lemon juice might be the lowest vA source of vitamin C

Baobab powder is low in Vitamin A. Very high in C and other wonderful minerals.

out of interest why not ascorbic acid? I know some people don't get on with it (tummy ache etc).. more gentle form of vit C is sodium ascorbate.

Ascorbic acid = vitamin C. If it was good enough for Pauling it works for me 🙂 i take a tsp or so daily, more if I have stuff to heal. I <3 it!

I'd worry more about what is added in the supplement (colors, flavors..). I use 100% pure Ascorbic acid powder, water in mouth, powder in mouth, swallow. Disgusting but have had worse 😁
