Is this citric acid extracted from fruit or made from mold and genetically modified corn?

99% of all citric acid is produced via ASPERGILLUS. I would imagine this product is the same based on pricing, luckily I have no allergy to it so I cannot verify.

I see it on the label from here.. non gmo in the red circle top left.. if it really is non gmo thats amazing.. corn is the most genetically modified product after soy.. Im going to try it just for that reason!

I dont have the bottle but basically is an extract of bitterlemon (the dried plant) and a vehicle I belive it was corn starch.

It is probably about the same, here is a great way to think about it and then you can think about the fruits or where the primary fruit or starch was derived and whether or not that is organic or GMO. Good Luck! Glucose = from carbs. Fructose = from fruits, honey, agave, and high fructose corn syrup. Dextrose = usually produced commercially then added to food to sweeten it. Sucrose = white table sugar, produced from the sugar cane plant (& other sources).

ascorbic acid is made by processing cornstarch--so it certainly could be GMO. I don't think this is a serious issue, certainly not in this case.

The label (shown in the description photos) states 'naturally derived citric acid.' These tomatoes are delicious! I eat them right from the can, heated, for lunch.

HCA is Hydroxycitric acid which comes from tropical fruits. This derivative of citric acid aids in the metabolism of body fat.

Your idea that ascorbic acid is only a derivative of GMO corn is incorrect. I've got a tangerine tree in my backyard covered in vitamin C filled fruit right now... and my jalapeno peppers have even more. Vitamin C sources are everywhere. I don't know where you got that idea it only comes from GMO corn.

According to the producer it is not genetically modified (see http://www.hi-maize.com/HiMaize/USA/FAQ/) the fiber content is 15 grams out of 25--they don't break it out, but I think that that would be the resistant starch component (so it may not be the kind of fiber you're looking for).

From my research, non GMO, produced from beet molasses . After fermentation, the yeast is collected and dried

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.

Here is the information I was able to get from the NOW FOODS website: "For example, pure natural vitamin C is produced from corn by only five production facilities in the world. None are in the United States, where GMO corn is all too common. All are from Europe and the Far East, situated in countries that (to date) have restrictions that do not allow GMO food corn to be grown there. Our producers have given us statements to confirm that their corn sources are non-GMO, but the documentation doesn't extend back to the farm level. Testing for GMOs has not found that any is detectable in vitamin C. We have done all that is currently possible to assure that our vitamin C is non-GMO, and continue to monitor the situation to ensure this is maintained in the future." Hope that helps :-)

almost certainly corn. there is very little OTHER plant source for vegetable glycerin anymore. I am allergic to corn and it caused my nose to bleed *couldn't find any reason other than spray.

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

My package says: Citric Acid, 2 lbs, 100% pure. I don't see any indication of additional ingredients.

I have no idea. As far as I know it's chemically synthesized in a lab. There must have been something organic as a raw material; but I don't know what that was.
