Possible Interaction: Magnesium and Vitamin C

“ VCE prevents the smoke and X-ray-induced selenium, zinc, magnesium , and copper decrease to strengthen the antioxidant trace element levels in the serum of the technicians.”

“High intakes … or vitamin C combined … magnesium compared with low intakes of both nutrients were significantly associated with lower (better) PTAs at high frequencies (-14.82%; 95% CI: -…% to -8.74% for β-carotene + magnesium and -10.72%; 95% CI: -16.57% to -4.45% for vitamin C + magnesium).”

“Supplemental vitamin C and arginine also have the potential to boost platelet production of NO Increased intakes of taurine, magnesium , gamma-tocopherol, fish oil, and garlic may help to stabilize platelets by additional mechanisms.”

“ Mg and VC supplementation could synergistically alleviate SAON in rats, indicating great translational potentials of metallic minerals for preventing SAON.”

“ Mg and VC supplementation synergistically reduced the apoptosis of osteocytes and osteoclast number, and increased osteoblast surface.”

“ Mg supplementation increased the antioxidant activity of the fruiting bodies, phenolic compounds, and some amino acids, including L-tryptophan, and vitamins (thiamine and l-ascorbic acid).”

“Of the other common divalent or trivalent metal ions tested, that are normally present in drinking water (calcium, magnesium, zinc, cobalt, manganese or aluminum), only calcium and magnesium displayed a modest inhibitory activity on the ascorbic acid/Cu(II)-induced H2O2 formation.”

“In the absence of complex formation between magnesium and ascorbic acid it is concluded that ascorbic acid acts by competing with the magnesium binding sites in the cell wall, cell membrane or ribosomes.”
