Description

General description

(+)-Magnesium L-ascorbate or vitamin C magnesium salt is a water-soluble molecule.[1] It is naturally present in a variety of foods such as citrus fruits and vegetables.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) exhibits anti-oxidant properties in both plants and animals.[3] In plants, it facilitates various cellular processes such as growth, programmed cell death, pathogen responses, hormone responses, flowering and senescence, as well as protection against environmental stresses. Ascorbic acid acts as a reducing agent in various enzymatic reactions to reduce oxidative stress.[4] L-Ascorbate has an ability to inhibit bacterial mutagenesis induced by N-nitroso compounds.[5] Vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy, prominent-gingivitis, perifollicular hemorrhages, poor wound healing, petechiae and ecchymosis.[2]
