Vitamin C is the vitamin which is most taken in supplement form worldwide. Unfortunately, that vitamin C is synthetic in 99,9% of cases. Synthetic vitamin C is an isolated molecule without the additional nutrients present in nature which can be very useful.
Natural Vitamin C is non-synthetic. It is a natural extract from organically grown Indian Gooseberries (Amla). Besides vitamin C, it contains valuable co-factors like rutin, ascorbigen and choline. Natural vitamin C with bioflavonoids is active in the human body for longer than isolated synthetic vitamin C.
Many so-called natural vitamin C supplements are unfortunately not completely natural after all. Vitamin C-rich plant extracts are regularly enhanced with synthetic vitamin C in order to increase the vitamin content. Our Natural Vitamin C is however guaranteed to be free of synthetic substances.
The fruits from which this extract is made have been grown without pesticides or fertilizer. You can read more about this below.

The cultivation and processing of the Indian Gooseberries (Amla) which are used for Natural Vitamin C are unique in many respects:
1) Use is made of non-genetically modified plants (non-GMOs).
2) Cultivation is organic: without use of pesticides or fertilizer.
3) The Amla extract is obtained through aqueous extraction. No toxic chemical solvents such as hexane or methanol have been used.
4) The extract has not been supplemented with synthetic vitamins.
Indian Gooseberries (Amla) contain vitamin C embedded in a 'nutrition kit'. The extract of this nutrition kit is is therefore less acidic than synthetic vitamin C often is. This food supplement is milder for the stomach.
