Buffered to prevent upset stomach
Mag-C is buffered to prevent the upset stomach sometimes associated with straight ascorbic acid while providing an easily assimilated form of magnesium. Each capsule provides 700mg of vitamin C (magnesium ascorbate) and 50mg of magnesium.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient. Because it is water-soluble and dietary intake varies, regular supplementation is important. As an antioxidant, vitamin C works at the cellular level to reduce the adverse effects of oxidation and premature aging. Since it is involved with the production of collagen and connective tissue, vitamin C helps maintain functional and strong connective tissue, blood vessels and capillaries, as well as healthy skin and gums. It also promotes healing and can reduce bruising. Vitamin C has also been shown to support immune and adrenal function, as well as reduce allergic response.
Vitamin C has seemingly been at the center of nutritional research, particularly with regard to the common cold. It is well known that vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, and this protective activity is now proving vital in recovery from infection. A number of studies have found that, during infection, there is a marked decrease in vitamin C levels in plasma and white blood cells. The concentration of vitamin C in phagocytes and lymphocytes is over 10 times greater than in plasma, and low intake of vitamin C has been shown to decrease phagocytic activity in animal models.
Other studies have shown that higher vitamin C concentration increases the proliferative responses of T lymphocytes in vitro. Vitamin C has also been reported to induce the production of interferon in cell culture, and one study has found a correlation between natural killer cell activity and vitamin C concentration in leukocytes. Under in vitro conditions, vitamin C has been found to inactivate viruses and bacteria. In human studies doses higher than 100 grams per day have been used for severe bacterial and viral infections.
