What magnesium malate is

Magnesium malate is magnesium bound to malic acid, the compound that gives apples their tartness. Malic acid is also part of the citric acid cycle, the chain of reactions your cells use to produce energy. This formula adds DL-malic acid as a non-medicinal ingredient alongside the magnesium malate, and pairs it with magnesium oxide, a dense form that lets one capsule reach 250 mg of elemental magnesium.

Magnesium itself is involved in more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body, including the ones that release energy from food and the ones that let muscle fibres contract and relax.

Which Organika magnesium suits you

Organika's magnesium formulas differ in what the mineral is paired with. Malate is the highest dose of the group at 250 mg per capsule and the best value per bottle, so it suits people who take magnesium every day for the long term. Bisglycinate is the all-round option at 200 mg. Taurate pairs magnesium with taurine, and Magnesium Bisglycinate + Melatonin is made for bedtime.

How to take it

Adults 19 and over take 1 capsule once a day. If you also take a multivitamin or another product with magnesium, add up the amounts before you start. Each capsule also contains a hypromellose shell, microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. There are no flavours, colours or sweeteners.

Organika Magnesium Malate FAQ

How much magnesium is in each capsule?

250 mg of elemental magnesium, the amount of the mineral itself rather than the weight of the whole compound.

How long does a bottle last?

230 days at one capsule a day.

What is the difference between magnesium malate and magnesium citrate?

Both are magnesium salts of fruit acids. Malate uses malic acid, the acid in apples, and citrate uses citric acid, the acid in citrus fruit.

Is it vegetarian?

Can I combine it with other magnesium products?

Add up the elemental magnesium from everything you take, multivitamins included, and check with a health care practitioner if the total goes above what the labels recommend.
