Magnesium malate

Tier 2 — promising · Energy · Muscle · Fibromyalgia

Combines magnesium with malic acid, which plays a key role in cellular energy production via the Krebs cycle. Theoretically preferred for fatigue, fibromyalgia, and muscle performance because malic acid supports ATP synthesis. Small trials in fibromyalgia show reduced pain and tenderness. Well absorbed with minimal laxative effect. Less clinical evidence than citrate or glycinate forms.

Dose: 200–400 mg elemental Mg from magnesium malate; malic acid supports energy metabolism
