Magnesium Malate | 240 Tablets | Vit4ever

Magnesium malate tablet by Vit4ever

A tablet has something honest about it: you see and feel exactly what you are taking, without a shell around it. Magnesium malate is the compound of magnesium with malate, the salt of malic acid. Malic acid occurs naturally in, among others, apples. Vit4ever presses this combination into a compact tablet of 240 pieces per jar. The daily dose of 2 tablets provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 80% of the reference intake. For those who prefer not to swallow capsules or simply prefer a tablet, this is a logical choice.

Why a tablet and not a capsule

The difference lies in the form, not in the contents. A capsule consists of a powder that is enclosed in a shell, often made of plant-based cellulose. A tablet is compressed from the powder itself, with microcrystalline cellulose as a binder and a small amount of stearic acid to prevent the powder from sticking to the machine during pressing. So there is no shell between you and the magnesium malate, only the substance itself plus those two excipients that make pressing possible. What many people do not know: a tablet is therefore often more compact than a capsule with the same amount of magnesium malate, and at a lower dose you can break it in half if desired. If you prefer to swallow smaller units, then the tablet form gives you just a little more freedom than a capsule that you cannot split. Those who sometimes find a large capsule difficult to swallow often find a tablet of a comparable size easier to take.

Magnesium bound to malic acid

In magnesium malate, the magnesium is chemically bonded to malate. It is not an extra ingredient that happens to be added, it literally belongs to the magnesium molecule. That is where magnesium malate comes in as an alternative to citrate or bisglycinate: the same mineral, just a different partner. Which form suits you best is mainly a personal choice.

300 mg magnesium per day from 2 tablets

A daily dose of 2 tablets provides 2000 mg of magnesium malate, of which 300 mg is elemental magnesium. That is 80% of the reference intake. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the normal functioning of the muscles. Many people wonder how magnesium can do all that at the same time: the answer is that magnesium serves as a cofactor for hundreds of enzyme reactions in your body, from muscle contraction to the production of energy in your cells. Precisely for this reason, magnesium appears in so many different body processes at the same time, from your nervous system to your muscle tissue. You can also spread the 2 tablets throughout the day, for example 1 with breakfast and 1 with dinner.

A jar that lasts for months

240 tablets in one jar means, at 2 tablets per day, 120 days of use without reordering. That is almost four months from one package. The tablets are vegan: microcrystalline cellulose and stearic acid are both plant-based in origin, so you do not have to doubt animal ingredients. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, to the electrolyte balance, to normal protein synthesis and to normal psychological function. It also plays a role in the cell division process. In short: one mineral, multiple points of action in your body, packaged in a tablet without a capsule shell and without unnecessary additives. For those who are used to the tablet form from other supplements, this jar fits right in. And because a tablet is simply sturdier than a capsule, the contents remain well intact even after months in the jar.
