New Chapter Activated C Complex, for Immune Support, Organic, Non-GMO Ingredients, 180 Count

just like “Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin C” This …

This product is just Ascorbic Acid plus some food extracts. You can't get 250mg Vitamin C (or anything else) out of 126mg total extracts, which is all this product contains. They are tricky about the wording, just like "Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin C" This company, like "Garden of Life" is preying on your lack of knowledge regarding vitamin labeling. They can say "Vitamin C" without explaining the source or type, because for label purposes, Vitamin C by default is ascorbic acid. This company uses the wording "whole food complexed vitamin C" to be tricky. This just means they combined Vitamin C with whole foods. On labels, complexed = "combined with". Unless the product says "Vitamin C (from berries)" or similar, than it is just plain old corn based ascorbic acid. Notice the only people saying it is not ascorbic acid are reviewers? The company will never state that on the box, on its website, or in an email, because it would be illegal to make a false claim. If you want natural Vitamin C, look for one from berries or at least a non-GMO, non-chinese corn source

Now a part of P&G; wait for the quality to start degrading…

I've just cancelled my subscribe&Save upon learning it'd been sold out to P&G. I simply cannot support a company that goes against everything I hoped to promulgate as a conscientious consumer: non-GMO, animal research, and environment destruction. Again, small innovative companies selling their soul to the large corporatins with nothing but profit at their core of values; pretending to be something else. Surely, the quality will deteriorate in time. The same experience with Castor & Pollux which I've been a loyal consumer for years, since inception when they were selling mail order. I am so disappointed, and very angry

Caution: formula now contains Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng)

I used, and loved, the previous version of New Chapter's food based vitamin C formula, which went by a different name - could feel it working/absorbing without the ascorbic acid flush that comes with most high potency vitamin C formulas. It kept us healthy through flu season. Well, the new formula contains Eleuthero, also known as a cheap version of (Siberian) ginseng. Why on Earth they put this in the formula is beyond me. They took a perfectly good formula and ruined it for many of us who do not want or cannot tolerate Eleuthero. I've since started using a Mykind liquid C formula that is not quite like the old New Chapter C version, but vastly better than the current one. You bombed this one, New Chapter

New Chapter sold out!

New Chapter brand supplements sold out to one of the biggest chemical developers in the world in June of 2012. Proctor & Gamble is not an organic company and also practices animal testing. When I questioned New Chapter about this they gave me some very slick feedback about "standing alone" but it was just another glossy excuse for not taking responsibility and avoiding the truth. They also included some information about how I could write to P&G to express my feelings about using animals in product testing...hmmm now aren't they the company that sold out to big corporate greed? We, the consumers, are not even given an informed choice as New Chapter does not include this P&G inclusion anywhere in their packaging nor their advertising. Do not expect integrity from this product nor any of New Chapter's...oh I mean Proctor & Gamble's products

food based supplement

don't be fooled by the number of mg. our body absorbs food based supplements differently than chemical isolates. there are certain isomers that are not found are nature, as well as form of vitamins that must be converted. for example you should never take folic acid, you should take folate. they are not exactly the same thing. folic acid must be converted into folate by the body, and in the process creates free radicals. new chapter is also anti GMO

Proctor and Chapter.

I always referred to New Chapter products as one of the best available in the market until now. Much for my dismay I found out that Procter and Gamble bought it! Product is no longer good! As long as animal testing be conducted by this company I not only not buy any of their items, but also will do the worse propaganda I can! My family is out and lots of my friends. And that's only the beginning! I used to buy and send it abroad! Never do that any more. It's disgusting to know that I used these very expensive then good products under false advertisement. Proctor and Gamble should be displayed at the New Chapter bottles so people could make informed decisions. Shame on this company. Do you really need to use animals in 2015? Do you really need to deceive people to sell your products? I'm glad that I'm not one of them any longer and with me at least 20 more, who soon will be 200 more! And we call ourselves human beings, more developed, superior! We are just arrogant people who are very full of ourselves. Disgusted by your merging, from California and abroad

Easily digests

EVERY pill i take upsets my stomach..until i found New Chapter. There products are amazing, the "whole food" vitamin thing seems to digest better than its alternative (lab created vitamins?). I take the Vit C every day right before bed (along with a multi..also from NC)with no issues. Also love that i can do subscribe and save and it shows up at my door
