Succinic acid in Canada

Chiron - 29-6-2019 at 16:12

I'm looking for reagent or even food grade succinic acid in Canada. Seems like the U.S. and Canadian retail markets are dry. There are supplemental forms available but they are in capsules and tablets that are mixed with bulking agents like microcrystalline cellulose or other nutriceuticals, which makes them impractical for my uses.

I could theoretically synthesize it myself but I don't have the necessary apparatus to attain high grade purity.

Any ideas?

TIA

Is eBay not a useful source? Isn't potassium succinate a homebrew or wine byproduct?
