Magnesium Malate Supplements

What makes malate the "energy" form

Magnesium malate is magnesium bound to malic acid, a compound found naturally in apples and other fruit. Malic acid has a job in the Krebs cycle — the series of reactions cells use to produce energy — which is why malate is the magnesium form most associated with energy and why active people tend to gravitate to it. The magnesium itself contributes to normal energy metabolism and muscle function, so the pairing is a natural fit.

Magnesium malate and muscles

Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, and malate is a popular pick among people who train or are on their feet a lot. It's often chosen by those minding muscle comfort and everyday recovery, taken as part of a routine rather than as a quick fix.

Capsules or powder

Capsules give a fixed, convenient dose. Powder lets you mix it into water and adjust the amount to suit you. The malate is the same either way — it comes down to how you prefer to take it.

A note on magnesium malate

Like other forms of magnesium, malate can loosen the stools at higher doses, so build up gradually. Magnesium can also interact with some medications — if you take any, check with your pharmacist and space magnesium a few hours apart from your other pills.
