Source Naturals Magnesium Ascorbate Powder – Immune and Energy Support, 113g (4 oz)

Key Benefits of Magnesium and Vitamin C

Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and the normal functioning of the nervous system.* Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function, normal collagen formation, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.* Together in magnesium ascorbate, these two nutrients offer dual support for your body's everyday needs. This powder is designed to be gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for those who struggle with acidic forms of vitamin C or other magnesium compounds.

Different Forms of Magnesium – Which One Is Right for You?

Magnesium supplements come in many forms, each with its own absorption profile. Magnesium oxide is common but has lower bioavailability and may cause digestive upset. Magnesium citrate is more absorbable but can have a laxative effect. Magnesium glycinate is well-absorbed and often used for sleep. Magnesium ascorbate, as in this product, binds magnesium to vitamin C (ascorbic acid), creating a pH-neutral compound that is non-acidic and easy on digestion. This form is ideal for those with sensitive stomachs who want both minerals in one convenient serving. One rounded 1/4 teaspoon provides a meaningful amount of elemental magnesium and vitamin C.

What Is Magnesium and Why Do You Need It?

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, protein synthesis, and nerve function. Many people do not meet their daily magnesium needs due to dietary habits and soil depletion. Supplementing can help fill this gap. Source Naturals Magnesium Ascorbate offers a unique combination of magnesium and vitamin C in a gentle, non-acidic form that is easy on the digestive system.

How Much Magnesium Should You Take?

The suggested use for this powder is 1/4 teaspoon daily, mixed in water or juice with a meal. Always check the label for the exact elemental magnesium content. The appropriate dose may vary depending on individual needs, so it is best to consult a health care professional for personalised advice.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

Magnesium ascorbate is generally well-tolerated. Because it is non-acidic and buffered, it is less likely to cause digestive discomfort compared to other forms like magnesium oxide or high-dose vitamin C. However, taking too much magnesium can lead to loose stools or gastrointestinal upset. If you experience such symptoms, reduce your dose. As with any supplement, consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
