Buffered Magnesium Ascorbate: Strong Immunity, Antioxidant Protection and Daily Energy – Vitamin C 820 mg + Magnesium 60 mg for Collagen, Metabolism and Stress Resistance

Buffered Magnesium Ascorbate, Vitamin C Powder, NOW Foods is a dietary supplement in powder form, designed to provide a concentrated dose of vitamin C (820 mg per serving) together with elemental magnesium (60 mg), in a formula oriented towards supporting immunity, antioxidant protection, collagen production and efficient energy metabolism functioning. The combination of vitamin C and magnesium is valuable because it simultaneously addresses two essential directions for the body: defense against oxidative stress and support for systems that generate energy, manage stress and maintain muscle and nervous function.

Vitamin C is one of the most important micronutrients with antioxidant role, involved in protecting cells against free radicals and in supporting immune response. At the same time, it is indispensable for collagen synthesis – the structural protein that provides resistance to skin, blood vessels, gums, bones, cartilage and ligaments. Beyond these roles, vitamin C contributes to regenerating other antioxidants, supports iron absorption and participates in enzymatic processes linked to neurotransmitter formation, indirectly influencing mental clarity and stress resistance.

Magnesium, on the other hand, is a critical mineral for hundreds of enzymatic reactions, being closely linked to energy production (ATP), neuromuscular function and nervous system balance. Adequate magnesium intake can support muscle relaxation, cardiac function, stress response and quality of post-effort recovery. In this formula, magnesium is present in an amount of 60 mg elemental, contributing to completing daily intake and supporting synergy with vitamin C, especially during periods of increased demand, fatigue, stress or intense physical effort.

The "buffered" character of the product indicates an approach oriented towards digestive comfort, by associating vitamin C with a mineral, so that the formula is perceived by many people as being gentler compared to simple vitamin C, in large doses. In addition, the powder form allows flexibility in portion adjustment and easy integration into daily routine, especially for those who prefer alternatives to capsules or tablets.

Detailed Benefits of Buffered Magnesium Ascorbate (Vitamin C + Magnesium)

 

• Supporting immunity: daily defense and resistance in cold season

The immune system needs key nutrients to function optimally, and vitamin C is one of the most known "pillars" of immune support. It participates in normal immune cell function, supports the body's response to external aggressors and contributes to maintaining the antioxidant barrier during increased demand.

Through the intake of 820 mg vitamin C, the product can contribute to:
✅ supporting immune response during busy or stressful periods
✅ antioxidant protection of immune cells, which work intensely during challenges
✅ maintaining a general state of resistance, especially in cold season or during periods with insufficient sleep

This support is relevant for active people, for those who travel frequently, work in crowded environments or want constant support for immunity.

 

• Antioxidant protection: free radical neutralization and reduced oxidative stress

Free radicals are naturally produced in metabolism, but increase significantly under the influence of pollution, smoking, UV exposure, psychological stress and intense effort. When oxidative stress exceeds the body's protective capacity, the following may appear:
• persistent fatigue
• slower recovery after effort
• accelerated skin aging
• increased sensitivity to environmental factors

Vitamin C acts as a direct antioxidant and supports regeneration of other antioxidants in the body. Thus, the product can support:
✅ daily antioxidant balance
✅ cell protection against oxidation
✅ maintaining vitality during demanding periods

This benefit is important both for general health and for skin appearance and tissue resistance.

 

• Collagen production: firm skin, functional joints and resistant blood vessels

Collagen is an essential structural protein for tissue integrity. Vitamin C is indispensable for collagen synthesis, as it participates in hydroxylation reactions that stabilize collagen fiber structure. When collagen support is optimal, the following can be observed:
• firmer and more elastic skin
• more resistant connective tissue
• support for mobility and joint comfort

Through vitamin C intake, the product can contribute to:
✅ supporting skin health and smooth appearance
✅ maintaining cartilage and ligament structure
✅ support for blood vessels and microcirculation

This benefit is relevant for those who want to support skin beauty from within, but also for active people who stress their joints.

 

• Energy and metabolism: the role of vitamin C and magnesium in ATP production

Fatigue is not always just "lack of sleep"; it's often linked to how cells produce energy and manage oxidative stress. Magnesium is involved in the functioning of enzymes that produce ATP, and vitamin C supports metabolic processes that maintain vitality.

Through its combination, the product can support:
✅ efficient energy metabolism, through magnesium intake (60 mg)
✅ reducing the sensation of exhaustion associated with oxidative stress
✅ better resistance to effort and sustained activity

It is a suitable formula especially for active people, for those who have demanding periods at work or for those who feel daily energy decreases during cold season.

 

• Nervous system and muscle function: support for relaxation and balance

Magnesium is recognized for its role in nervous system function and muscle relaxation. During periods of stress, magnesium consumption can increase, and some people experience:
• muscle tension
• cramps or discomfort after effort
• agitation, irritability or relaxation difficulties

Magnesium intake from this formula can contribute to:
✅ supporting neuromuscular function
✅ maintaining balanced muscle tone
✅ support for body adaptation to stress

In addition, synergy with vitamin C can support the body during periods when psychological stress and physical demand overlap.

 

• Iron absorption and vitality support

Vitamin C contributes to increasing iron absorption, especially non-heme iron (from plant sources). Good iron status is important for oxygen transport and for energy. Therefore, vitamin C in the product can support:
✅ more efficient use of dietary iron
✅ supporting vitality and fatigue resistance
✅ metabolic support, especially for people with predominantly plant diet

This benefit complements the formula's profile as support for energy and general state.

 

• Supporting post-effort recovery: oxidative stress, microinflammation and repair

Physical effort, especially intense, increases free radical production. Optimal recovery means controlling oxidative stress and tissue support. Vitamin C and magnesium can contribute to:
✅ more comfortable recovery after workouts
✅ antioxidant support for stressed tissues
✅ maintaining muscle function and mobility

This effect is appreciated by active people, athletes or those who want to maintain their pace without long periods of energy "drops".

 

• Powder formula, concentrated dosage, flexible use

An important advantage of Buffered Magnesium Ascorbate product is the powder form, which allows easy integration into daily routine and offers a powerful dose of vitamin C alongside magnesium. Thus, the formula addresses those who:
✅ prefer powder instead of capsules/tablets
✅ pursue high vitamin C intake, with associated mineral support
✅ want a product oriented towards immunity, collagen and energy, in a single formula

Through this combination, NOW Foods offers a concentrated and balanced supplement, suitable for supporting the body during demanding periods, for immunity, antioxidant protection and efficient metabolic function.

 

Directions for Use

Mix 1/4 level teaspoon of powder in at least 250ml of cold water or clear liquid. Take once daily with a meal. Pure magnesium ascorbate powder can increase liquid temperature upon contact; therefore, the recommended serving should be mixed in at least 250ml of cold liquid to neutralize this reaction before ingestion.
