are these vitamins sourced from food? or are they synthetic?

I can't answer this for sure, but I will tell you that I'm currently scanning the reviews/questions about the same issue. I think I'm going to avoid these because it says right on the ingredients "folic acid" instead of folate. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, it's used for fortification. Something smells fishy, think I'm going to avoid it.

Most manufacturers will NOT divulge that information. Please contact Bulk Supplements directly to see what they say. "Vitamin C" is manufactured almost solely in China via an industrial process that's purely synthetic or via microbial fermentation, so for the fermentation process there would definitely be GMO components, because the microbes (algae or bacteria) are genetically engineered. Here's a paper on how most vitamin supplements are produced today: Ascorbic acid production. From: Vandamme EJ. Production of vitamins, coenzymes and related biochemicals by biotechnological processes. J Chem Tech Biotechnol 1992; 53:313-327. Most manufacturers will NOT divulge that information.

I didn't know what these were so I researched and Natural News website recommended this brand that's why I trust it. All naturally derived b vitamins from yeast. The mildly toxic cyanocobalamin is synthetically derived in cheap vitamin B vitamins. This is a good product I trust because Natural News tests supplements for purity and safety.

Nothing but Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin, which is a certain type of B12 , more easily assimilated into the body, and not synthetic). Hope that helps.

They are not vegan. The D3 comes from lanolin (sheep). However, the Just Once vitamin in RL line does contain D2, which is from mushrooms. But as far as which is better absorbed, the D3 is best as it is the type we create from the sun.

This is synthetic vitamin e, not natural. Considering how cheap the real, natural version is, no one needs to take these. When you see "DL" versus just "D," that means it's the synthetic version.

No, it is not. But what I love about Garden of Life products; they are Whole foods not synthetic like most vitamins. They are made from real foods. This is VITAMIN D raw. tHIS is extremely important especially if you live in the colder regions.

I'm not even sure if your question makes sense. It's an amino acid. You could get it from any protein source with the right components. It might even be completely synthetic. It's kind of like asking if this is the vegetarian carbon.

The source of the D3 is from sheep's wool (from New Zealand) and the D3 is extracted in Poland. The rest of the manufacturing/packaging happens in the US. This is pretty good considering a lot of vitamins are actually processed or sourced in China. This one isn't.

This supplement was prescribed by my neurosurgeon for treatment of my neuropathy. It has help eased the pain on my foot, but I have to ask my doctor if the said pills are natural or synthetic. My suggestion is the to ask the manufacturer of this said supplement. Sorry I can answer your question at this point.

neither, it is all whole food vitamin c from a berry blend. there is no synthetic ascorbic acid.

This product contains 'ascorbic acid', a synthesized, synthetic & incomplete attempt at Vitamin-C. Synthetic vitamins such as ascorbic acid act more like drugs in the body rather than whole food nutrients with all the available cofactors. Taking any synthetic vitamin can cause imbalances in the body and should be avoided.

In one teaspoon there 80% of the Vitamin A and 100% of the Vitamin D. Not sure if it is natural though.

I cant remember, I bought it for my wife and I am pretty shure every mineral and vitamin is derived from an all natural source like vegtables. Google the main company, get there phone number, then call and ask.

This says it is d-alpha tocopherol. The synthetic form of vitamin e is dl-alpha tocopherol. (just that "l" makes all the difference!)

I recently called Garden of Life to inquire about their kids vitamin and one of the things they told me was that the iron listed on the label was naturally occuring in the foods used in creating this vitamin. I also learned that this is the only certified non-GMO childrens vitamin formula on the market which is important to me for the health of my children.

I cannot be 100% since I haven't tested the contents of the pills, but it is from an animal base (fish oil on label) so it is a retinol (retinoic acid) which is fat soluble ( don't take if pregnant). Generally B-carotene is derived from plants like carrots and pumpkins and is orange. Hope this helps. Vit A is actually chemically created in the small intestines so both B-carotene and the 3 types of organic compounds that make Vit-A aren't actually Vit A either. Retinol is stored and then converted to Vit A.
