Hi, I came by to promote ALT0, which is a very good hook, but I don't see anything about it being "marketed as a medicine" in the article. Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- The mention is now only in the Discovery section (I had it in the Lead also, but someone edited it out). Also, I had a better citation for establishing 1934. David notMD (talk) 00:53, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- Reference changed. However, it does not support "...as a medicine." Proposing ALT2 or ALR1a David notMD (talk) 04:49, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- ALT2:... that ... in 1934 vitamin C was the first synthetic vitamin to be trademarked (as Redoxon) and marketed?
- ALT1a:
... that ...in 1933 vitamin C was the first vitamin to be synthesized, and one year later the first synthetic vitamin to be trademarked (as Redoxon) and marketed?
Support for first and first also at the Wikipedia entry for Redoxon The citation there for first marketed is the same that I have now added to the Vitamin C article. David notMD (talk) 11:17, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
- OK, but where in the article does it say it was the first synthetic vitamin to be trademarked and marketed? (The Roche source only says it was trademarked, not that it was the first to be trademarked. It's also not clear that the source in footnote 10, cited in the lead, is saying anything about the vitamin being manufactured or marketed.) Yoninah (talk) 23:34, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
