L-Ascorbic acid (magnesium)

• Description:

  L-Ascorbic acid (L-Ascorbate) magnesium, an electron donor, is an endogenous antioxidant. L-Ascorbic acid selectively inhibits Cav3.2 channels with an IC50 of 6.5 μM. L-Ascorbic acid is also a collagen deposition promoter and elastin production inhibitor. L-Ascorbic acid exhibits anticancer effects by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and selectively damaging cancer cells[1][2][3][4].
