Aug 2018
Expiration DateThe length of time for the expiration date or “best used before” date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Description
- Antioxidant Protection
- 100% Pure Buffered Vitamin C Powder
- A Dietary Supplement
- Vegetarian/Vegan
- GMP Quality Assured
Vitamin C is a water soluble nutrient well known for its vital role in the immune system. Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen (a structural protein in connective tissue) and is therefore important for skin, bone, and joint health. Vitamin C is also needed for amino acid metabolism, hormone synthesis, and the utilization of many nutrients, such as folic acid and iron. It is also a highly effective antioxidant that can protect the body’s cell and molecules from damage by free radicals generated during normal metabolism. This product supplies Magnesium Ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C that is gentler on the stomach.

Customer reviews about the product:
No problem when used by toddler children.
Shelf live is somewhat short so use fairly quickly. Short shelf life is a GOOD sign. NOW please DO NOT change this product.
I wish that NOW would use screw on tops so I could recylce the bottles for other uses.
The taste is a bit sour (it would probably mix nicely with juice for those who find the flavor objectionable).
Now Foods is an excellent company, making high-quality products at affordable prices.
I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I’ve tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn’t. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
The product name is totally misleading, made me believe I was buying a magnesium supplement improved by vitamin C and not the opposite. They should call it buffered vitamin C or something and write magnesium ascorbate on the back label only, with tiny letters – unless this confusion really helps their sales…
get the labeling. It would benefit the buyer to
have “(Vitamin C.)” somewhere on the label – something
like that. I’m not a professional and I suppose the major component of “Magnesium Ascorbate” is Vitamin C. so it’s not like they did anything wrong.
NOW products are among the best value out there and I will be ordering more NOW products in the future and that includes this product – from I-herb, no less
the service was great
