This will be a question for a LabRat or Owen type -- someone with a chemical knowledge or similar.
By mixing pure Ascorbic Acid & Magnesium Hydroxide powders you get Magnesium Ascorbate ?

When you add alkaline substances like milk of magnesia or sodium
bicarbonate to acidic ascorbic acid, a chemical reaction occurs.
The milky-colored magnesium hydroxide reacts to form magnesium
ascorbate and the solution turns from white to clear. The sodium
bicarbonate reacts to form sodium ascorbate and the solution
fizzes from the carbon dioxide gas which is released.
---------------------------------------
What amounts of each would you need?
The Magnesium Hydroxide reduces the acidty of the Ascorbic Acid but the still slightly acid liquid would help the absorption of the Magnesium.
For someone who takes a lot of ascorbic acid at a time the reduced acidity c/- magnesium hydroxide plus the bonus of magnesium at the same time is very pleasing & helpful?
Any response would be appreciatted.
