Vitamin C (Magnesium Ascorbate)

Overview

Magnesium ascorbate is vitamin C bound to magnesium. Mineral salts of vitamin C are less acidic than ascorbic acid, so they are called buffered, though little research shows they are easier on the stomach. The magnesium in it counts toward the upper limit for magnesium from supplements.
