By the way, is there such a thing as potassium ascorbate, or magnesium
ascorbate? This may be a stupid question, but if there were such a
thing, one would get even better health results from it.

*Potassium ascorbate:* The minimal requirement for potassium is thought
to be between 1.6 and 2.0 grams/day. Fruits and vegetables are rich
sources of potassium, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may
provide as much as 8 to 11 grams/day. Acute and potentially fatal
potassium toxicity (hyperkalemia) is thought to occur at a daily intake
of about 18 grams of potassium/day in adults. Individuals taking
potassium-sparing diuretics and those with renal insufficiency (kidney
failure) should avoid significant intake of potassium ascorbate. The
purest form of commercially available potassium ascorbate contains 0.175
grams (175 mg) of potassium per gram of ascorbic acid (see Potassium
