What Is Magnesium Malate?

Magnesium malate is a dietary supplement that combines the essential mineral magnesium and malic acid, an organic compound that's found in apples and other food sources.

Magnesium plays a role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, and blood sugar regulation. Studies suggest that the body doesn't absorb magnesium well when it's taken in supplement form alone, so binding it to a compound like malic acid is meant to boost absorption so your body can maintain healthy levels of the mineral.

Malic acid has health benefits of its own, too, and it's sometimes added to supplements because of its ability to help increase energy levels, improve athletic performance and boost skin health.

When you put the mineral and compound together, you get magnesium malate, a supplement that's thought to be well-tolerated and taken by people who have low magnesium levels and suffer from muscle pain or fatigue.

Benefits:

The potential health benefits of magnesium malate include the following:
1. Boosts Energy and Mood
Magnesium is essential for the production of energy in the body, and it helps enhance mood. Research shows that magnesium supplementation has been successfully used to reduce signs of depression and may be useful as adjuvant therapy.
2. Supports Muscle and Nerve Function
Magnesium is an important mineral for muscle and nerve function, helping the muscles relax. Using magnesium malate may help reduce muscle cramps and pain.
3. Helps Improve Athletic Performance
Magnesium is important for muscle function, and malic acid may help improve athletic performance.
When magnesium was studied for its ability to enhance exercise performance, reports showed that the mineral enhanced glucose availability in the brain, muscles and blood and boosted muscle use, including grip strength, lower leg power and jumping performance.
4. May Relieve Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Symptoms
Magnesium malate may be beneficial for people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and other pain disorders.
5. Supports Heart Health
Magnesium helps regulate heart rhythm and may lower the risk of heart disease, according to research published in Nutrients. High magnesium intake is associated with a lower risk of major cardiovascular risk factors, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes and hypertension.
