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.
