Ingredients explained
Magnesium (as magnesium malate trihydrate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes involved in ATP production and helps balance calcium in muscle cells to support normal relaxation and contraction.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some people at higher intakes because unabsorbed magnesium can draw water into the intestines.
Malic Acid
Malic acid participates in the Krebs cycle, where it helps the body generate cellular energy from carbohydrates and fats.
Caution: May cause mild stomach discomfort in some individuals, especially on an empty stomach, because organic acids can be irritating for sensitive digestion.
How they work together
Magnesium supports enzyme activity and muscle relaxation, while malic acid feeds the Krebs cycle for cellular energy production. Together they supply both a key mineral cofactor and an energy cycle intermediate for daily energy metabolism and muscle function.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use.
Who should be cautious: People taking medications that may interact with magnesium, such as certain antibiotics or thyroid medications, may need to separate dosing. Those with kidney concerns or on diuretics may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

- 3,750 mg Per Serving
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 carbs 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, because of its function as a cofactor for enzymes and because of its ability to counterbalance calcium in the cell.
