★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Magnesium Ascorbate Capsules give you vitamin C in a buffered form, bound to magnesium so it is less acidic than plain ascorbic acid and gentle on the stomach. Each capsule provides 485mg of vitamin C with 36mg of magnesium, taken one to three times a day with meals from a pot of 90 capsules.
Benefits of taking buffered vitamin C
Vitamin C is the vitamin your immune system leans on, which your body also uses to make collagen and to absorb iron. Binding it to magnesium takes the acid edge off, so you can take a higher amount without the stomach discomfort plain ascorbic acid can cause.
- Your immune system gets the vitamin C it relies on.
- Energy levels pick up as tiredness and fatigue ease.
- Collagen keeps forming for skin, cartilage, bones and gums.
- Iron from food and supplements is absorbed better.
- Muscles and energy release get a little magnesium alongside.
Who benefits
Magnesium Ascorbate Capsules are most useful for:
- People who find plain vitamin C harsh on the stomach, because the magnesium buffers the acid.
- Anyone who wants a higher vitamin C intake at times of high demand, taking two or three capsules spread through the day.
- Those taking an iron supplement, since vitamin C helps the body absorb iron.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 485mg of vitamin C, which is 606% of the daily reference value, plus 36mg of magnesium, which is 10%. There is nothing else in it apart from the vegetable capsule shell. Buffered vitamin C and non-acidic vitamin C are other names for magnesium ascorbate.
How to take it
Take one capsule one to three times a day with meals. One a day covers everyday needs, while two or three a day spread across meals give 970mg to 1455mg of vitamin C at times of high demand.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
What is the difference between magnesium ascorbate and plain vitamin C?
Magnesium ascorbate is vitamin C bound to magnesium, which makes it buffered and less acidic in the stomach than ascorbic acid. The vitamin C is the same, so Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid Powder is the cheaper way to take a high dose if you tolerate acid well.
How much vitamin C should I take a day?
Take one capsule a day for everyday cover, which gives you 485mg of vitamin C. At times of high demand you can take two or three a day, spread across meals.
When is the best time to take it?
Take it with meals, spread across the day, because vitamin C is absorbed better in smaller amounts than in one large dose.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. It pairs well with an iron supplement, because vitamin C helps your body absorb iron. The magnesium sits comfortably alongside vitamin D and zinc.
Does buffered vitamin C have side effects?
Buffered vitamin C is gentle on the stomach, so the digestive discomfort that high doses of plain ascorbic acid can cause is unlikely.
Does the magnesium count towards my daily intake?
Yes. Each capsule gives you 36mg of magnesium, which is 10% of the daily reference value, so three capsules a day add 108mg.

Frequently asked questions
What is Magnesium Ascorbate good for?
Magnesium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, providing 485mg vitamin C plus 36mg magnesium per capsule. The magnesium buffers the acid, making it gentle on the stomach.
When should I take Magnesium Ascorbate?
Take with meals, spread across the day, as vitamin C absorbs better in smaller doses. It pairs well with iron to support absorption.
What are signs I might need magnesium?
Common signs include muscle cramps, poor sleep, low energy, and tension. A blood test can confirm your level.
Can I take magnesium with other supplements?
Magnesium pairs well with vitamin D, zinc and B vitamins. Space it from calcium by around 2 hours for absorption.
How long until I notice results?
Many people notice a difference within 1 to 2 weeks, with fuller benefits over 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use.
How does magnesium ascorbate compare with plain ascorbic acid and other buffered vitamin C?
Magnesium ascorbate is vitamin C bound to magnesium, which makes it buffered, so it is less acidic in the stomach than plain ascorbic acid. Other buffered forms use calcium or sodium instead; the vitamin C is the same in each, the difference is which mineral comes with it. Ascorbic acid powder is the cheapest way to take a high dose and suits people who tolerate acid well. Magnesium ascorbate suits people who find plain vitamin C harsh on the stomach and want a little magnesium alongside.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
