I READ SOMEWHERE THAT ASCORBIC ACID KILLS THE BENEFICIAL BACTERIA IN GRAINFIELDS. DOES ROSEHIP TEA HAVE THE SAME EFFECT OR IS IT SAFE?
Natural sources of Vitamin C such as Rosehips have great health benefits and no detrimental effects at all on the Lactobacilli or good gut flora in Grainfields. It is only the artificially made ascorbic acid that has been a problem in the past. Alan Meyer the formulator of Grainfields made the discovery years ago when trying to ferment some organic apple juice that the ascorbic acid it contained killed his microbes. Since then he has made improvements to make the bacteria more resistant to and able to survive the use of artificial forms of Vitamin C. However It is best to try and use natural sources of Vitamin C rather than artificial wherever possible.
