Mag'C® contains Vitamin C as Ascorbyl Palmitate and Magnesium Ascorbate. (code # 51M)

Mag'C® provides both the essential magnesium mineral and Vitamin C for the human body.  In Mag'C®, the acidic Vitamin C is neutralized by the accompanying magnesium, and becomes less irritating to the stomach.

What  is Ascorbyl Palmitate?
It is the Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) ester, which means that Vitamin C in this form is BOTH water and fat soluble, whereas simple Ascorbic Acid is only water soluble.  The additional solubility provided by the ester form allows for GREATER BIOAVAILABILITY and absorption of Vitamin C by the body.

Who should consider this formula?
Mag'C® is excellent for fatigue conditions, and mood since magnesium is the principle driver of ATP synthesis in the cells. Magnesium and Vitamin C together help improve blood vessel flexibility and heart health.
Because of its non-irritating nature, magnesium ascorbate should always replace Vitamin C when one gram or more Vitamin C is recommended in high dose Vitamin C therapies.  And, according to recent studies, many Americans need to consume MORE Vitamin C than they currently do! Vitamin C deficiency can aggravate respiratory conditions and add to irritability.

Why is Vitamin C important?
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant. For the heart, it protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation and prevents arterial stiffness and blood platelet clumping. For smokers, Vitamin C may remove the oxidative and harmful effects created by smoke or secondhand smoke. Vitamin C is also instrumental in collagen production. Collagen is the protein component of white fibers contained in skin, connective tissue, tendons, bone and cartilage and give these elements their form, strength and flexibility. Other ways Vitamin C works: wound healing, blood sugar metabolism, eye health, metal detoxification.
Vitamin C is believed to aid nitric oxide activity, the component required for blood vessel dilation and a element important to lowering blood pressure. (read study pdf)
