Ingredients explained
Magnesium (as magnesium malate trihydrate)
Magnesium serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in ATP production and helps regulate muscle contraction by balancing calcium activity in muscle cells.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some people; consider splitting doses with food to improve tolerance.
Malic Acid
Malic acid participates in the Krebs cycle, where it contributes to cellular energy production from carbohydrates and fats.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in sensitive individuals; taking with meals may help.
Magnesium Malate Trihydrate
Provides both magnesium ions and malate, offering a bioavailable source of magnesium alongside a Krebs cycle intermediate for energy metabolism.
Caution: High intakes may lead to gastrointestinal upset; start at the lower end of the suggested range.
How they work together
Magnesium supports enzyme function and neuromuscular relaxation, while malic acid feeds into the Krebs cycle for cellular energy. Combined as magnesium malate, the mineral and organic acid work through complementary pathways involved in muscle function and energy metabolism.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use.
Who should be cautious: People with kidney issues or on medications that may interact with magnesium, such as certain antibiotics or thyroid medicines, may need to separate dosing and discuss with a healthcare provider before use. As this product contains magnesium, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may cause interaction.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Supports Muscles and Energy Production
- 3,750 mg Per Serving
- Non-GMO Validated
Source Naturals Magnesium Malate is a compound of magnesium and malic acid. It supports proper muscle function, cardiovascular health, and energy production. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid that is present in most cells in the body and is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, where energy is captured during the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Magnesium is an essential cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions in metabolism, ATP synthesis, and energy production. Magnesium plays important roles in muscle relaxation, due to its function as a cofactor for enzymes and its ability to counterbalance calcium in the cell.
