What the brand says

Sold as “Magnesium Malate 1000mg (120 Capsules) for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) and Fibromyalgia”

2 CAPSULES PROVIDES Magnesium:300mg (80% EU NRV) Malic Acid:1800mg Magnesium is essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the human body. Chief amongst its functions, it helps to support a healthy immune system, encourages a steady heartbeat, helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function and also keeps bones strong and healthy. Magnesium also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. There are, however, several different forms of magnesium supplements available to buy, varying in overall quality and price. Many cheaper magnesium supplements contain magnesium oxide due to its low cost, but it also has extremely poor absorbability and can cause diarrhoea. This is why it is often used as a laxative. The Patients’ Own magnesium malate supplement uses high quality magnesium malate, made from a combination of magnesium and malic acid. This makes the magnesium highly absorbable whilst including the energy-generating qualities of malic acid. These properties make our magnesium malate supplement ideal for patients of both Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. A magnesium deficiency can cause symptoms similar to those which Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia patients experience. Multiple trials have shown an improvement in symptoms following magnesium supplementation. Malic acid aids the correct functioning of the Krebs Cycle, which is where much of the cells’ energy is generated. A malic acid deficiency prevents the Krebs Cycle functioning properly, which can therefore lead to fatigue. The following Chronic Fatigue Syndrome specialists recommend taking magnesium supplements for ME/CFS: Dr Lapp, The University of Maryland Medical Center, Dr Cheney, Dr Teitelbaum, Dr Podell, Dr Pall, Dr Downing-Orr and Dr Myhill.
