Best source of SA?

[neetling]

Anyone have any places they order from? I got some from my HFS but it's mixed with calcium and other stuff and I can barely choke it down without gagging.

Help please. I'd like a formula that I can get the kids to take too. They are 7,6 and 3.

Thanks.

I just bought some SA, Now brand, the 3-pound container, from Lucky Vitamin. It's my first time ordering from them, they shipped in a timely fashion and got my (very simple) order correct. It tastes salty, I think that's inherent to sodium ascorbate.

NOW used to be my brand of choice. NO LONGER. I emailed the company to find out some things about the source of their SA. It is made from genetically modified corn.

I appreciate they were honest about this, but I found another brand which is made from NON GMO beets, vita purity, a while ago, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Anyway Nutribiotic brand SA is sourced from NON-GMO corn and is safe for those with corn issues since any corm residue is removed in the manufacturing process. I plan on using this brand from now on.

I recently bought Vitapurity after reading one of Marnica's previous posts about the GMO corn. I think it might taste better than the NOW brand. Ifound it here

The kind I got is NutriBiotic buffered Ascorbate Bio-C. I'm choking it down, but man it's gross.
