Magnesium is a mineral critical for energy production, metabolism, muscle contraction, transmission of nerve impulses and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor of 300 enzyme systems. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are the synthesis of fatty acids and proteins, and the metabolism of glucose.

Malate acid is a natural organic acid found in some fruits and vegetables, especially green apples. It constitutes an important intermediate derivative of the Krebs cycle, both in aerobic and anaerobic activities. More specifically, it is a necessary molecule in the production of energy in cells, derived from carbohydrates.

Magnesium malate, as a combination of magnesium and malic acid, can provide benefits related to the proper functioning of the heart, but also the syndrome of chronic fatigue.

Additionally, magnesium malate has the ability to chelate other metals with particular effectiveness on toxic metals. Aluminum for example, the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust can - in high concentrations - cause severe damage to the central nervous system, memory loss and dementia. Magnesium malate can bind to these metals and render them inactive.

NOW's Magnesium Malate formulation delivers 115 mg of elemental magnesium.
