Is the Vitamin C Made with Sugar and How Is It Produced from Fermented Orange Peel?Updated 13 hours ago

Source of the Vitamin C

Our Vitamin C is derived from orange peel that undergoes a controlled fermentation process in Europe. Orange peel naturally contains compounds that can be transformed and concentrated through fermentation to obtain vitamin C.

This process allows the ingredient to be sourced from a natural, food-based material rather than being synthesized through purely chemical methods.

Is Sugar Used?

No. The Vitamin C ingredient itself is not made with added sugar, and it does not contain sugar as part of the final product. Fermentation does not automatically mean that sugar is added. In this case:

• The raw material is orange peel
• The fermentation process is used to help transform and stabilize the ingredient
• The finished Vitamin C does not contain sugar as an active or added component

Any carbohydrates that may naturally exist in the starting plant material are not present in meaningful amounts in the final vitamin C ingredient.

What “Fermentation” Means in This Context?

Fermentation is a natural processing method that uses controlled conditions to transform raw plant materials. It is commonly used in food and ingredient production to:

• Support ingredient stability
• Help refine or isolate specific compounds
• Improve consistency from batch to batch

In this case, fermentation is a manufacturing step, not an indication that the product is sweetened or contains sugar.
