Vitamin C Tablet with Sodium etc....

[PR1]

I've got some Vitamin C tablets and the ingredients are:

Sucrose, Vit C, Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, Flavour: Orange (3%), Colours: Bettroot Powder Prep. (maltodextrin, beetroot juice concentrate, citric acid), Riboflavin Phosphate; Corn Starch, Sweeteners: Sodium Cyclamate, Sodium Saccharin, maltodextrin.

Is this allowed? It's a dissolvable table in a glass of water.

Can anyone help on this?

Is this allowed?

No.

Sucrose is sugar.

Maltodextrin is also a form of sugar.

Beetroot juice is definitely not an Induction food.

Corn starch is not an Induction food... but you do find it in many vitamins. In the small amount found in supplements, I don't worry about it.

why do you need Vit C? you can just eat it in your salad veggies things like broccolli, cauliflower and peppers are loaded with it.


if your doc said you need that vit C them take it but know it has sugar in it which are not allowed on Atkins induction sucrose is table sugar as are the beets

In UK we can buy vitamin C tablets with artificial sweetener instead of sugar. No idea what the sweetener is as I don't buy them, but check the labels on one designed for diabetics.
