Integrative Therapeutics Magnesium Malate 100 mg Mg
Brand: Integrative Therapeutics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides 100 mg of magnesium as magnesium malate. Our assessment: Magnesium is an essential mineral, but data on the specific benefits of magnesium malate for energy production or muscle function is limited. The provided data does not contain specific efficacy studies for this exact formulation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems, including those that regulate muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and protein synthesis [NIH ODS]. The malate form is bound to malic acid, which is involved in the Krebs cycle for energy production. However, the data provided does not include studies confirming that magnesium malate offers superior absorption or benefits compared to other forms [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but no specific report count is provided for magnesium malate [FDA data]. General side effects from magnesium supplements can include gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and cramping, especially at high doses [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you have a confirmed magnesium deficiency, this product can be a reasonable option. Start with one tablet daily and increase slowly to assess tolerance. Be aware that magnesium can interact with certain medications, including bisphosphonates and antibiotics [NIH ODS]. For personalized dosing, consult your healthcare provider.
