Description of Magnesium Ascorbate
Magnesium ascorbate, also known as magnesium vitamin C, is a white, odorless powder with a slightly bitter taste. Unlike pure ascorbic acid (vitamin C), it boasts good stability and isn’t hygroscopic, meaning it doesn’t readily absorb moisture from the air. This makes it a shelf-stable and less acidic alternative to vitamin C supplements.
Chemically, magnesium ascorbate is a 1:1 combination of magnesium and ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid, C6H8O6, contributes the well-known antioxidant properties and vitamin C function. Magnesium, Mg, brings its own benefits, including supporting muscle and nerve function. The combined formula, C12H14MgO12, offers a readily absorbable source of both nutrients. This unique compound caters to those seeking the benefits of vitamin C with a gentler stomach impact and the added advantage of magnesium supplementation. Its stability and neutral taste also make it a versatile choice for various supplement formulations.
As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s Magnesium Ascorbate.
Application of Magnesium Ascorbate
Enhanced Magnesium Absorption
Increased Bioavailability: Magnesium ascorbate combines magnesium and vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which enhances magnesium absorption. This ensures that the body efficiently absorbs magnesium, making it ideal for individuals with magnesium deficiencies or absorption issues.
Reduced Digestive Upset
Gentle on Stomach: Magnesium ascorbate is less likely to cause digestive upset, such as diarrhea or stomach discomfort, compared to other forms of magnesium. This makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive stomachs or those prone to gastrointestinal side effects from supplements.
Antioxidant Synergy
Powerful Antioxidant Properties: Vitamin C in magnesium ascorbate offers strong antioxidant benefits, helping to neutralize free radicals in the body. Combined with magnesium, this synergy supports overall cellular health and helps combat oxidative stress, which can damage cells.
Immune System Support
Boosts Immunity: Magnesium ascorbate supports immune health, thanks to the presence of vitamin C, which is well-known for its role in enhancing immune function. This combination helps improve the body’s defense against infections and reduces the duration and severity of illnesses like the common cold.
Skin Health Benefits
Promotes Skin Vitality: The vitamin C component in magnesium ascorbate aids in collagen production, supporting healthy, youthful skin. It also helps reduce signs of aging, improves skin elasticity, and assists in skin healing and repair processes.
