Magnesium Malate 100mg Elemental | Muscle and Bone Support | 300 Capsules

Magnesium malate is a chelated form of magnesium bound to malic acid an organic acid that is both a natural component of fruit and a direct intermediate in the Krebs cycle. Each capsule provides 100mg of elemental magnesium from 500mg of magnesium malate. Licensed by Health Canada to help maintain bones and teeth, normal muscle function including the heart muscle, the body's ability to metabolize nutrients, and as a source of electrolytes (NPN 80142901). Suitable for adults 19 years and older. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney disease or are taking antibiotics, diuretics, or heart medications.

Magnesium oxide has high elemental magnesium content by weight but poor bioavailability absorption rates as low as 4%. Unabsorbed magnesium oxide draws water into the colon via osmotic action, causing the laxative effect commonly associated with magnesium supplementation. Magnesium malate is a chelated organic acid salt absorbed more efficiently in the small intestine, leaving less unabsorbed magnesium to reach the colon significantly reducing digestive discomfort. Additionally, malic acid from magnesium malate is a direct Krebs cycle intermediate, providing dual energy metabolism support not available from magnesium oxide.

Malic acid from magnesium malate is a direct intermediate in the mitochondrial Krebs cycle the pathway that generates NADH and FADH2 for ATP production. Magnesium itself activates over 300 enzymes involved in energy and nutrient metabolism, and ATP exists primarily as a magnesium-ATP complex in cells. Licensed by Health Canada to help maintain the body's ability to metabolize nutrients (NPN 80142901). Suitable for adults 19 years and older seeking energy metabolism support. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney disease

Magnesium facilitates muscle relaxation after calcium-triggered contraction by competing with calcium at binding sites and supporting calcium reuptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This calcium magnesium balance governs normal skeletal and cardiac muscle function. Licensed by Health Canada to help maintain normal muscle function including the heart muscle (NPN 80142901). Suitable for adults 19 years and older. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if taking heart medications or diuretics.

Approximately 60% of the body's total magnesium is stored in bone, where it is incorporated into the hydroxyapatite crystal lattice and influences bone mineral density. Magnesium is also required for enzymatic activation of vitamin D, which regulates intestinal calcium absorption without adequate magnesium, calcium cannot be efficiently absorbed or deposited into bone. Licensed by Health Canada to help in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth

Do not supplement magnesium without medical supervision if you have kidney disease impaired kidneys cannot excrete excess magnesium, which can lead to hypermagnesemia. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking antibiotics, diuretics, or heart medications. Excessive intake may cause loose stools. Keep out of reach of children. Suitable for healthy adults 19 years and older with no contraindicated conditions.

Active individuals lose magnesium through sweat and have elevated daily requirements compared to sedentary adults. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, electrolyte balance via the sodium potassium ATPase pump, and cellular energy metabolism via the Krebs cycle. Licensed by Health Canada as a source of electrolytes and to help maintain normal muscle function and nutrient metabolism
