Magnesium Ascorbate is a salt of Vitamin C – a powerful antioxidant - and is an important source of the metal magnesium, which is required for a healthy nervous system. Unfortunately, most modern diets do not contain sufficient amounts of either Vitamin C or magnesium, and as such, this product is an ideal way of getting enough of both nutrients in a single supplement.
Magnesium Ascorbate in more detail
Anti-oxidants like Vitamin C can help to reduce the effects of the aging process thanks to their ability to "mop up" free radical oxygen molecules, which cause severe cell damage, and have also been linked to cancer. Vitamin C has also been shown to reduce the incidence of cardio vascular disease by a number of studies in recent years.
Aside from its antioxidant properties, Magnesium Ascorbate also provides a number of benefits to people who take it. The health benefits of Magnesium Ascorbate include boosting the immune system, reducing the symptoms of asthma, and alleviating some of the symptoms of Pre Menstrual Syndrome including muscle cramps. Magnesium also relaxes the bowel slightly, and can provide relief from constipation in those who suffer regular bouts.
Because the acidic Vitamin C component of Magnesium Ascorbate is buffered by being combined with the magnesium, it is gentler on the stomach than pure ascorbic acid, and can therefore reduce some of the side effects such as acid indigestion that some people suffer when they take the purer form of the supplement.
Magnesium is actually the most abundant mineral in the body. An essential building block of bones, nerve tissue, and teeth, it also helps with the digestive process, and promotes the work of the immune system to improve resistance to disease.
