Probably, but calculate carefully the dose you are taking since you
may not know the concentration of vitamin C in the powder.

The organic label is suspicious.

Hopefully the product is simply pure vitamin C crystals.
Additives such as traces of rosehips results in greatly reduced
stability. Be sure to fully neutralize the acidic property
when you take the solution of vitamin C. I suggest
either sodium bicarbonate or magnesium carbonate
to neutral the solution. Do not use magnesium oxide
as it is very slow to react. Vitamin C solutions are
very damaging to tooth enamel if left acidic. Or even
better put it in a capsule.

I agree the label organic suggests additional materials.
Though it maybe they used non-GMO corn in
the fermentation process. Assuming they are still
using the process to make vitamin C that was used
in the past.
