Active Ingredients & Science
This product contains vitamin C as magnesium ascorbate, a chemical compound in which ascorbic acid is bound to magnesium. This form has a buffering effect, making it gentler on the stomach than pure ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that is an important antioxidant and plays a role in several normal bodily functions. This buffered form is particularly suited to those who want to avoid stomach discomfort associated with higher doses of ascorbic acid.
Benefits & Uses
- Gentle on the stomach: Magnesium ascorbate is a gentler form of vitamin C that may suit people with sensitive stomachs or those who have previously experienced stomach discomfort from regular vitamin C.
- Flexible dosage: As a powder, you can easily adjust the amount as needed and mix it into water, juice or another drink.
- Suitable for different diets: The product is vegetarian, vegan and GMO-free, making it suitable for a wide range of people.
- Convenient for travel and home use: The powder is easy to take with you and can be used at any time of day, helping you maintain a regular supplement routine.
Use & Dosage
The recommended dose is one measured amount of powder mixed into a glass of water or another drink, once or twice daily, depending on individual needs. The powder dissolves easily and can be combined with other supplements, such as zinc or multivitamins, for a more complete nutritional profile. For best results, follow the instructions on the packaging and, if in doubt, consult your healthcare professional or doctor.
