The 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.

Magnesium ascorbate is non-acidic (pH neutral) and gentle on the digestive system. Vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen formation, amino acid metabolism, hormone synthesis, and the body's immune system. Magnesium is an essential mineral, playing a key role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in metabolism. These reactions include those involved in the Krebs cycle (one of the body's main energy production processes), energy storage, the breakdown of fatty acids, protein synthesis, DNA metabolism, the relaxation of both voluntary and involuntary muscle tissue, neurotransmitter activity, and hormone regulation. Magnesium is stored primarily in the bones and plays a role in bone formation.

To me, this is a great vitamin c product, especially if you take large doses as I do. It has a slightly sour taste that I find tolerable. I simply mix a half-teaspoon into several ounces of water and drink it down. A good way to get additional magnesium as well. 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.

I've been on this for 3 weeks now. I use 1/8th of a teaspoon in the morning and before I go to bed. It has taken away the twitching of my nerves in my legs and lower back. It has helped me sleep at least 6 hours without waking up! I feel stronger and I don't have panic attacks as much. I have Trigeminal Neuralgia and I thought this might help with the nerves in my head! So far I can sleep on my right side without any pains. Brushing my teeth still is a problem sometimes, but it seems to be getting a bit better. Not sure if its the Magnesium or that I'm in a good place right now with my body. One never knows when the symptoms will come back. I will definitely order this again.

Magnesium Ascorbate is one of two highest assimilation factor magnesium formulas. I've been taking it for years, and it's helped, reduced, and eliminated everything from muscle spasms...which includes extreme charlie horse type spasms that would send me flying out of bed from a deep sleep in the middle of the night...to heart palpitations, to restless legs syndrome. I have done some research on magnesium to find that deficiency of it is one of the leading causes of heart attacks. Alan Thicke just passed away yesterday from a sudden heart attack. Could he possibly have been suffering from a deficiency such as this?? The simplicity of this rarely talked about mineral is AMAZING, yet the complexity of it and what it supports is truly beyond amazing. It's a miraculous mineral, to say the least. Source Naturals happens to be my favorite brand of this particular product, and it just may be for many other people, as well. I do find it not available, (in this brand) on occasion, so I will buy more than one to make sure I don't run out. The one time I had to try "another brand," I wasn't happy. The other brand wasn't as soluble in my glass of (diluted 1/2 water) juice, settling in the bottom. Source Naturals is my fav! (Note: Not all magnesium formulas are equal. The higher the dosage, the less the assimilation factor. SO...preferred is low dosage for high assimilation. This one is 1/4 teaspoon.)

Magnesium Ascorbate has a more neutral pH and more stable than ascorbic acid. I use it for my skin care formulations.
