Reduce mucus and inflammation...
Magnesium malate is our daytime magnesium. Magnesium bound to malic acid, a compound your cells use in energy production, so it fits the morning and the afternoon rather than the pillow.
For adults who want to raise magnesium intake without the drowsiness some evening forms bring. 100 or 200 capsules, about 150 mg magnesium each.
- Lab Tested
- Pork-Free Capsule
- Split-Dose Friendly
- No Fillers
- No Flow Agents
- No Magnesium Stearate
- No Seed Oils
Why people use it
- Magnesium runs the engine. 3,751 human proteins bind magnesium (the human magnesome), including the ones that make ATP, the energy currency of every cell.
- Supports normal muscle and nerve function. The reason people reach for magnesium after a long day of tension, workouts, or screens.
- Malate is the daytime pairing. Malic acid is part of the cycle cells use to produce energy, so this form is the one we use before dark. Bis-glycinate takes the evening.
- Built for splitting. Small capsules, taken with meals, so you can raise your total intake without the digestive upset that comes from one big dose.
What you're getting (approximate)
| Serving | Magnesium |
|---|---|
| 1 capsule | ~150 mg |
| 2 capsules (starting dose) | ~300 mg |
| 4 capsules (full dose) | ~600 mg |
Approximate. Count all sources (capsules, lotions, baths, electrolytes) together.
How to use
- Start with 1 capsule at breakfast and 1 at lunch.
- Over a couple of weeks, work up to 2 capsules per meal if you want more.
- Better tolerated in pairs an hour apart than two at once. Take with food.
- Keep this one before mid-afternoon; use Magnesium Bis-Glycinate for the evening.
- Children: open a capsule and start with 1/4–1/2 of the contents in food or drink, adjusted for size.
Sourcing & making
Lab-tested magnesium malate, encapsulated in USP-grade pork-free bovine gelatin. No magnesium stearate, no silica, no rice flour. Two ingredients on the label because two is what's in the bottle.
Full ingredients
- Lab-Tested Magnesium Malate
- Lab-Tested USP Grade Pork-Free Bovine Capsules
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- People who want daytime energy support without a stimulant
- Anyone who gets loose stools from citrate or oxide and wants a gentler, split-dose option
Talk to your practitioner first, or skip it, if:
- You have reduced kidney function. Magnesium is cleared by the kidneys; talk to your provider first.
- You take antibiotics, bisphosphonates, or diuretics; spacing matters, ask your pharmacist.
- You are pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition; check total magnesium intake with your provider.

Magnesium malate (magnesium + malic acid)
Magnesium-malic acid crossover trial, 1995
The Journal of Rheumatology · 1995 · RCT · n=24
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover pilot in 24 adults tested a fixed low dose of a magnesium/malic acid tablet during the blinded phase; in the open-label phase, a higher dose was associated with reduced pain and tenderness scores. Dose appears to matter, and larger trials are the next step.

The human “magnesome”: detecting magnesium binding sites on human proteins
BMC Bioinformatics · 2012 · computational proteome-wide analysis
A proteome-wide computational analysis annotating magnesium binding sites across the human proteome. Using 251 structural clusters as templates, the authors identified 3,751 human proteins carrying putative magnesium binding sites - about 13,689 binding residues in all - and called that set the human magnesome.
Evidence note: Strong for magnesium as a nutrient: a large mechanistic base plus human data on energy metabolism, muscle and nerve function. Magnesium malate specifically has one small crossover pilot behind it; head-to-head absorption trials between magnesium forms are still to come.
FAQ
Why magnesium during the day instead of all at night?
Absorption per dose is limited and one large dose is what causes loose stools. Splitting across meals raises your total for the day with less upset. This is the daytime slot; glycinate is the evening slot.
Malate, citrate, or glycinate: how do I pick?
Malic acid is part of the cycle cells use to make ATP, which is why we put malate in the morning and afternoon. Bis-glycinate is the evening form. Citrate moves the bowels more, which some people want and some don't.
Will it keep me awake?
It isn't a stimulant. Some people find malate feels more 'awake' than glycinate, which is why we place it in the morning and afternoon. Try it and see where it fits.
How do I count this with my lotion or bath?
Add everything up. Research on how much magnesium gets through skin is still catching up, so people use lotions and baths for how they feel and we count capsules as the reliable number.
Pairs well with
- Magnesium Bis-Glycinate — the evening form
- Adrenal Cocktail — potassium and vitamin C alongside your magnesium
- Salt of Life — trace minerals with every meal
Cautions
- Too much magnesium, or too much at once, may cause loose stools. Increase slowly and spread doses through the day.
- Contains bovine gelatin (capsules). Noted if you're following a plant-based diet.
- Store cool and dry, away from sunlight. Best within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
Small Batch
Made in small batches, about as close to homemade as a capsule gets.
Nothing Hidden
Two ingredients. No stearates, silica, or flow agents.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Nutrient figures are approximate reference values, not a lot-specific assay.
