Magnesium Malate
-contains chelated di-magnesium malate, which is magnesium bound to malic acid. Magnesium is one of the most critical minerals in the human body, and is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions. Malic acid is a compound found naturally in apples and other fruits and vegetable and is included because of its role in the Krebs cycle, which may help support energy production. True chelates, such as the di-magnesium malate found in this product, allow for greater absorption and tolerability than non-bound mineral salts and are retained better in body tissue such as bone.

True chelates are not only absorbed better than magnesium salts, but they are retained better in body tissue such as bone. Chelated magnesium is better tolerated than non-bound magnesium salts. Also, the ligands the minerals are chelated to are important, as the chelated compound will remain chelated throughout the gut and into the bloodstream. Mineral salts from non-true chelates break apart far sooner, usually in the stomach, leaving the body with the extra compound to deal with. Ionic minerals interfere with the absorption of other minerals including phosphorus and iron whereas chelated minerals do not.
