The Next Move in Organic Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a naturally occurring compound in many fruits and vegetables. Yet, it might be a shock to learn that most vitamin C used for supplements and beverages is synthetically derived. Artificial vitamin C has become the industry norm, mostly because of the known challenges in extracting it from natural sources. The extractable amounts of vitamin C in their raw form are neither potent enough, stable enough, nor soluble enough to be used as a commercially viable option in products. Applied Food Sciences addresses the known challenges of achieving enough potency, solubility, and stability with a first-of-its-kind ingredient called PurC® organic vitamin C, extracted from acerola cherry fruits. Organic PurC® harnesses the incredible potency of acerola cherry, which contains 70 times more vitamin C than other fruits and vegetables by weight. Meaning a little of our water-soluble 25% vitamin C extract packs a healthy punch. This innovative ingredient adds a deliciously light tart flavor with a hint of sweetness to beverages, gummies, foods, and supplements.
