Dietary supplement for people. Could it work for my plants?

I found this CalMag with vitamin C supplement, one of those powder in water deals, and I was wondering if it would be safe to use once in a while mixed with the plant's water. Maybe even add it to my supersoil? The ingredients are as follows: the nutritional facts say Vitamin C, Calcium and Magnesium, then other ingredients: calcium glucinate, citric acid, magnesium carbonate, ascorbic acid, and unsweetened lemon juice.

I thought it may help. I know vitamin C is a good antioxidant for plants and help with stress. I just didn't know if any of the other ingredients would hurt it.

Ascorbic acid is Vitamin C. Citric acid won't hurt them and can acidify the soil but in the amounts you have it won't. Calcium gluconate - unsure if the plant can use in this form. Mag carbonate - again. Seems like a crap shoot.

S'what I thought, too. But I thought if it could work, I'd hate to pass it up. It's not like my plants need it, I was just curious.

Let me say this to all who worry about the cost of nutes - contact the manufacturers and ask for free samples. I wouldn't count on any perpetual grows being fed this way. But you can get enough free samples to grow a few plants at a time. Just switch up emails and delivery addresses.

I doubt any would work just mixing with notes, plant may not be able to use it in that form. But mixing with the SS might work. Its a long shot though. If you are using ss you should have Epsom salt and bone meal in there. That's your cal mag. Far as vita c.... compost some fruit maybe?
