Magnesium Malate 1000mg by NOW Foods
This product from NOW Foods binds magnesium to malic acid (malate): magnesium malate. Each tablet provides 113 mg of elemental magnesium from 1000 mg of magnesium malate. And with 180 tablets in the bottle, it will last you a long time.
What magnesium malate is
In supplements, magnesium is always bound to another substance. In this form, that substance is malate, or malic acid, a substance that also occurs naturally in fruit such as apples. Magnesium contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.
What magnesium contributes to in your body
Magnesium contributes to the normal function of muscles and the normal function of the nervous system. Magnesium also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to normal protein synthesis. In addition, magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and to electrolyte balance.
Fully reacted, what does that actually mean?
NOW Foods calls this magnesium malate fully reacted. This means that the magnesium and the malate are completely chemically bound, and are not loose next to each other in the tablet. With a loose mixture, you are actually buying magnesium oxide with some malic acid next to it, while here you get real magnesium malate as a compound. Three tablets per day together provide 339 mg of elemental magnesium, well over 90% of the reference intake. That is a solid supplement to what you already get through nuts, whole grains, and green leafy vegetables.
Suitable for almost everyone
This magnesium malate is vegan, vegetarian, non-GMO, Kosher, and Halal. The tablets are produced in a GMP-certified facility, without wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, or shellfish. The bottle is also made from 100% recycled material. For those who value a clean, plant-based composition, this is a product without fillers. You can take the three tablets spread throughout the day.
