Jobo, I also use straight ascorbic acid aka Vitamin C. Wouldnt do the 2 together at first though as it would give a false reading kinda.
There is a bowel tolerance test to see how much vitamin C you need. Were all at differing levels. You take 1000mg vitamin C every hr until you need to go to the loo. Should feel the need but not an urgency.Usually best done at a weekend or time when you can get some privacy. Basically if its 4 x... 4000mg then you take that the next day ( 1000mg per hr not all at once

) and you should reach bowel tolerance sooner within a few days. Eventually topping you up to where your reserves are full and you can get by on 1000mg a day. Then with the magnesium at night you're just topping up daily. It does do an awful lot of good.
I also make Lyposomal vitamin C . You can find the recipie on youtube. With this it is encapsulated in sunflower lecethin so it gets absorbed into the gut. I cook it in a little jewlery cleaning machine.More gets into the actual bloodstream without triggering the bowel.
All good stuff. Glad the Magnesium Miracle was helpful. Youtube vids she does are great
