Does this have ascorbic acid in it?

The bottle shows the ingredients are: Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate), Calcium (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate) plus C-Sorb Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Lime, Lemon, Acerola, Rutin, Hesperidin Complex, Naturally Occurring Vitamin C Metabolites. So no, I don't see ascorbic acid as an ingredient, but I don't know what Calcium Ascorbate is, is it the same thing?

I assume the answer is yes. It has Calcium Ascorbate in it as well as natural Citrus Bioflavonoids listed as ingredients. I do not fin d it acidic and have been happy with the product.

It is essentially ascorbic acid bonded to calcium thus buffering it making it more stomach friendly and staying longer in the body..

Yes, it contains Vitamin C as "Ascorbyl Glucoside". It doesn't say what percentage but it's about half-way down the list of ingredients. I like this product.

If it turns yellow it most definitely *is* oxidized and shouldn't be used. There is no benefit to oxidized vitamin C and I'd even guess that it could have the opposite of the intended effect. I personally stay far away from oxidized vitamins. That said, I don't see how a formula of plain ascorbic acid and water could be stable. It's a perfect recipe for fast oxidation.

There is nothing I was able to find on the packaging that said anything about vitamin C. Maybe go to company website and give them a call?

No, it does not contain any Vitamin C, bioflavanoides or other fruit. That's why it is recommended that you take it with orange juice (a source of vitamin C). It is supposed to work best when combined and taken with a source of vitamin C. The ratings vary widely on this product. Unfortucnately, you need to spend the money and see if it works for you. If it does, it will definitely be worth it. Hope this helps.

Yes it is in gelatine (clear) capsules. I have never hear of that as being a trigger like that as the amount is so small. I would boost up your ascorbate vitamin C intake to 10,000+ mg a day and see if that helps.

To the best of my knowledge, NO. Besides the Vitamin C, it contains Rutin and Bioflavinoids, but no mineral ascobates.

Hi Jonh, I don't think the lypo-spheric vit C contain ascorbic acid. Because I had no gastric distress, cramps and diarrhea. I have used this product more than a year.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. They do make a Vitamin C Complex 90 tabs or 180 tabs http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Buffered-Bioflavonoids-Sustained-Release/dp/B0013OSLKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357949245&sr=8-1&keywords=now+vitamin+c+complex that has calcium ascorbate, but no other minerals. That's the one I really wanted, but I ordered the wrong one.

You are joking, right? Ascorbic acid contain no calories, but if it did, would you not want to take it? Besides, why didn't you look this up on Google? That's what it's for.

It isn't indicated in ingredients so I am assuming it doesn't have any vitamin c.

This product uses "Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate" (Vitamin C). It is listed just like this, but without the quote marks.

I don't know how much. It doesn't say it.Tetrahexyklecyl ascorbate is contain as vitamin C. This one listed on the ingredients at the last so maybe not so much I guess.

I called Swanson, to find out the source of the ascorbic acid they use in making their Vitamin C powder. The answer was that it is "derived from sugar alcohols, made from corn". So, yes it is corn-derived. Susan Calderone October 7, 2013

Sorry, I just noticed your question. It states that there is not a significant amount of Vitamin C or Iron.

It IS sodium ascorbate. Go to the manufacturer website for complete details on their products. It is made and sourced from the USA.
