- Magnesium Malate
Magnesium malate combines elemental magnesium with malic acid, a crucial intermediate in the mitochondrial Krebs cycle. This specific combination is highly bioavailable and is heavily favored in clinical protocols for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. By supplying both magnesium for muscle relaxation and malate for ATP production, it targets muscular energy deficits without causing the severe gastrointestinal distress associated with oxide or citrate forms.
