can your body the same amount c-vitaming from absorb calcium ascorbate and ascorbic acid? i have problems with my stomach.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, buffered ascorbate (including calcium, magnesium and sodium ascorbate) is absorbed as well as ascorbic acid. 
The best-absorbed form of vitamin C is liposomal Vit. C.
Lyposphreric C, which is sodium ascorbate mixed with phospholipids for enhanced absorption, is a product I often recommend. See

Question 3

how much mag glycinate should i take alongside two lots of 600mg calcium a day? i seem to only tolerate 100mg a day at the moment (upset stomach)

Accepted Answer

May need a change: Calcium is often best taken in a 2:1 ratio with magnesium.   Your dosage right now of magnesium is less than that, but you are getting an upset stomach from it.  Consider using another form of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide.  Sometimes you can also find calcium and magnesium already mixed in a 2:1 ratio in a single tablet.  See your doctor if the symptoms persist.

No: Pantoprazole and other proton-pump inhibitors will not treat hangovers. Tums (calcium carbonate) is also not good for hangovers but does help a little with the nausea associated with hangovers.  The best treatment for hangovers is not to get so drunk in the first place and to drink clear non-sugary fluids, proteins, and b vitamins to help with symptoms. Time is the only cure.
