About this ingredient
Magnesium Malate is a mineral compound formed from magnesium and malic acid. It is used as a source of magnesium in dietary supplements and can be formulated into capsules, tablets, powders and other nutritional products.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in more than 300 enzyme systems and contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, energy production, protein synthesis, bone structure and electrolyte transport.
Malate is the ion associated with malic acid, a naturally occurring organic acid involved in cellular metabolism. However, the presence of malate in a supplement should not automatically be interpreted as providing a clinically established βenergy-boostingβ effect.
As with other magnesium supplements, the elemental magnesium amount is more relevant for nutritional labeling than the total weight of the magnesium-malate compound.
