NOW Foods Magnesium Malate Caps
Description
NOW Magnesium Malate Caps pair magnesium with malic acid, for adults who want a magnesium form paired with a Krebs cycle intermediate tied to cellular energy production.
Malate is an intermediate compound the body uses in the Krebs cycle to generate energy from carbohydrates, which is why NOW pairs it with magnesium in this formula rather than using a magnesium salt alone.
Each veg capsule supplies 95 mg of elemental magnesium (23% Daily Value) from 840 mg of magnesium malate. The 180 count bottle provides 180 servings at the suggested serving of one capsule.
Take 1 capsule 3 times daily, preferably with food. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility and it carries Non-GMO, Vegan, and Halal certifications, and is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, or sesame ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this taken 3 times a day instead of once?
Each capsule supplies 95 mg of elemental magnesium, a smaller per-capsule dose than some other NOW magnesium products, so NOW's suggested use spreads intake across 3 capsules a day rather than one large dose.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. NOW's suggested use calls for taking each capsule preferably with food.
How is malate different from other magnesium forms NOW sells?
Magnesium malate pairs magnesium with malic acid, an intermediate in the body's energy-producing Krebs cycle, while NOW's other magnesium products pair the mineral with citrate, oxide, aspartate, or other forms instead.
Who should check with a doctor before taking this?
NOW recommends this for adults only, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition should consult a physician before use.
Is this the same product as NOW's Magnesium Malate tablets?
No. NOW also sells a separate Magnesium Malate 1000 mg tablet product; this is the veg capsule version with a different elemental magnesium amount per serving.
