Pure Lab Vitamins Vitamin C 1000mg, Corn Free Tapioca Source, Antioxidant and Connective Tissue Support, 120 Vegi-Caps

Pure Lab Vitamins Vitamin C 1000mg (Corn Free) Details

Pure Lab Vitamins Vitamin C provides 1,000 mg of vitamin C as pure ascorbic acid in each Vegi-Cap. It is corn free: Pure Lab synthesizes its vitamin C from tapioca — the starch of the cassava root — instead of the corn used for the vast majority of vitamin C supplements. It is an antioxidant that helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums, aids connective tissue formation and wound healing, and helps the body metabolize fats and proteins. Vegan, with no corn, gluten, wheat, sugar, yeast, milk, egg, shellfish or soy. 120 Vegi-Caps. Made in Canada by Pure Lab Vitamins, an Ottawa company founded in 2010 by a compounding pharmacist.

Vitamart's Take

If corn is an issue for you, this is the vitamin C to get. Most vitamin C on the market is made from corn; Pure Lab makes theirs from tapioca, which it says has a very low rate of allergenicity and is generally non-GMO. You get a clean 1,000 mg of ascorbic acid in a vegan capsule with nothing extra. Pure Lab deliberately doesn't buffer it, because the mild acidity of ascorbic acid may help the absorption of minerals like calcium, iron and zinc.

How Pure Lab Vitamin C 1000mg Compares

Regular vs. slow release

Pure Lab Vitamin C 1000mg Slow Release gives the same corn-free, tapioca-source 1,000 mg in a slow-release capsule. Choose this regular version if you take vitamin C once or twice a day and don't need extended release.

Ascorbic acid vs. buffered vitamin C

Buffered vitamin C is pH-neutral. Pure Lab explains that ascorbic acid is a weak acid that may contribute to the absorption of essential minerals like calcium, iron and zinc — buffered forms don't aid mineral absorption to the same degree. If acidity bothers your stomach, a buffered form may suit you better.

Tapioca source vs. corn source

The corn used for most vitamin C supplements is genetically modified, and many people report intolerance to corn-derived products. Pure Lab uses tapioca instead.
