Vitamin / Mineral Interaction in Gummies Experiment. Magnesium Causing Dark Browning?
I am playing around with different vitamins and minerals in gummies and have noticed that the ones with Magnesium (Magnesium Bisglycinate Anhydrous Chelate Powder (~13% Mg)) are browning significantly and continue to do so as they are exposed to air for longer.
Could it be the interaction with open air that is causing this or the core ingredients inside of the gummy?
