Tag: Organic vitamin c

Humans, unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C internally and must obtain it from their diet. This has led to a booming supplement market and the important question: is there organic vitamin C, or is the term just marketing fluff?

A 2013 review of human studies concluded that there are “no clinically significant differences” in bioavailability between synthetic and food-derived vitamin C, prompting many to question the superiority of organic vitamin C. This has led consumers to wonder if spending more on organic options is truly worth it for better health outcomes.
