Consensus on a good Vitamin C source?

@Mossy
Ok but the bioavailability (of most buffered vitamin C) is supposed to be somewhat less effective. But if you need a high level, like 1 g, and you suffer from acidity, it's acceptable.
Here (link) it makes no difference but I don't follow their conclusion.

To correct your problem of stomach, you need to re-enforce the border brush:- L-glutamine + taurine and glycine (or collagen).
1° for the stomach line
2° as antioxidant
3° as moderator (excito-toxity)
For other readers:
- Pure Vitamin C Powder contains Q
- C ; it's manufactured in Scotland.
=> quality and reliability. the only source not from China. Fine.
I've ordered on iHerb.com 21.3 €. thanks. - When you see 500 mg acerola, it's probably not 500 mg acid L-ascorbic. And we are not sure to get the right quality.
L-ascorbic acid must have the right mentions:
- No heavy metals (less than 10 PPM in total, less 1 PPM for Hg). Certificate must be available.
- The right indications: between 20.5 and 21.5° rotation and/ or the CAS number 50-81-7. Or it's not trustful. Rubbish, at least 50 % not bioavailable.
Note1: the Scottish one has these specifications. = Label: Q- C.
Note2: The Chinese one is not bad if you can trust the source, the intermediary who will deliver: laboratory, wholesaler, individual trader? Be careful with the Chinese...
I prefer the Scottish one. Safer.
- L-glutamine + taurine and glycine (or collagen).

From the quali-c page:
Since 2023, our base raw material is GMO-free - wheat - from Germany which resulted in more sustainable final product which is also gluten-free. -
@LucH Thank you LucH. You always make me think about things I haven't considered.

So Quali-C comes from Germany as well as Scotland? In my light research on it, I thought it was only from Scotland. The Doctor's Best Quali-C on amazon was noted as being from corn. At least that was the response when I searched it. Also, it probably could be argued that wheat would be susceptible to the same pollen drift, i.e., there is no such thing as non-GMO.

Isn't Vitamin C not from whole food sources (ascorbic acid) problematic because it reduces copper?
-
@Alomongerpete I guess I’d eat more copper rich foods
