It provides both the essential magnesium mineral and Vitamin C for the human body. In Magnesium Ascorbate, the acidic Vitamin C is neutralized by the accompanying magnesium, and becomes less irritating to the stomach. Magnesium Ascorbate is excellent for fatigue conditions, blood sugar regulation and mood support since magnesium is the principle driver of ATP synthesis in the cells.
Magnesium and Vitamin C together help improve blood vessel flexibility, atherosclorotic conditions and the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias. Magnesium Ascorbate is a potent source of magnesium for those suffering from magnesium anemias--most teenagers and elderly are deficient in magnesium. Because of its non-irritating nature, magnesium ascorbate should always replace Vitamin C when one gram or more Vitamin C is recommended in high dose Vitamin C therapies.
