Magnesium Malate

Magnesium malate is an organic compound consisting of magnesium and malic acid (2-hydroxydicarboxylic acid). The complex magnesium bond protects the magnesium itself. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid found in fruits and vegetables.

As with other magnesium compounds, the body benefits not only from the magnesium contained, but also from the effects of the binding partner. Malate is an intermediate product in the citrate cycle, the hub of metabolism and energy production, and together with magnesium, calcium and phosphorus is involved in the formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate; energy storage). The synergistic combination of magnesium and malic acid contributes to normal energy production metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue and normal functioning of the nervous system.

Magnesium malate is particularly soluble in water and thus has high bioavailability.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Magnesium contributes to:

• the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• electrolyte balance
• normal energy metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• normal muscle function
• normal protein synthesis
• normal mental function
• the maintenance of normal bones & teeth
• cell division

Directions

Take 2 heaped measuring scoops (approx. 2g) daily with 200ml water, spread throughout the day.

Note: Spreading the dosage out across the day can improve absorption, since only a limited amount of magnesium can be absorbed at a time. Ideal intake times for magnesium include the morning just after waking, before lunch or after sports and in the evening before sleeping. Taking magnesium on an empty stomach or 30 minutes before a meal can improve absorption.

Daily Requirements

The German Nutrition Society recommends a daily intake of between 300–400mg of magnesium (NRV: 375mg). However, individual magnesium needs may vary according to biochemical factors, and can be significantly increased during stressful periods.

Note: According to the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), magnesium intake through supplements should not exceed a maximum daily amount of 250mg of magnesium in food supplements in order to avoid a laxative effect (mild diarrhoea). The maximum amount applies to persons aged four years and older. For infants under 4 years of age, there is no such guidance relating to a daily maximum due to lack of data.

The BfR recommends that the daily dose be divided into at least two separate doses per day. This is because scientific data shows that magnesium tolerability is increased when intake is spread between two or more doses per day.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
