Do we have one? Or is there one out there somewhere? If not, maybe we could start one...
I was VERY upset to find out recently that I dosed us all with GMO corn in the form of Now Brand's sodium ascorbate while we were dealing with pertussis. A friend emailed the company to ask & was told that the corn is not organic nor GMO-free, so very likely from GMO corn.
As it turns out, ALL forms of vitamin C, including ascorbic acid found in juices, applesauce, natural candies, vitamins, etc are almost definitely from GMO corn unless stated otherwise. Even when buying organic items, most of the time the vitamin c (in whatever form) is not organic.
I don't know what else comes from corn, but a lot of supps come from soy too. And now I wonder about supps that say they come from "vegetable culture" or "vegetable source."
So I'm in the market for some absolutely non-GMO sodium ascorbate. Any suggestions?
How about a multi-mineral supp.? I usually take Biotics iron-free/copper-free multi mineral supp but am now wondering about the veggie sourced ingredients. I emailed the compnay and am awaiting a response.
