Seeking Health Magnesium Malate Powder, 500 mg, 8.82 oz, 100 Servings

Magnesium Malate is one of the lesser known magnesium combinations. Malate is a substrate in the cellular energy cycle, improving ATP and ADP production. These are the molecule that fuel energy and life. Increased cellular energy function is helpful for athletes, and studies indicate this may be helpful in reducing muscle pain and tenderness in fibromyalgia as well as improve chronic fatigue symptoms. Improvement in pain was observed within 48 hours of supplementation with 1200 – 2400 mg. But I caution against using this amount. In my experience you are likely to get diarrhea. Like magnesium citrate, this form can cause diarrhea if too much is taken (an indication it is not being fully absorbed). I recommend beginning with 400 mg and increase by 100 mg/day until symptoms improve.1000 mg/day is generally considered safe. Some people experience immediate pain relief and an increase in energy at this level. If loose stools develop consider breaking up the daily amount into 3-4 doses. Taking this with a full meal that includes fat aids digestion and lessens the possibility of gastric upset and diarrhea. With all magnesium you should watch for irregular heartbeat when you first start supplementing. If this develops just cut back and increase gradually. Although magnesium toxicity is rare, caution is urged for those with impaired kidney function, children and the elderly who could be at greater risk of developing magnesium toxicity. This particular brand is an excellent product -- very pure with no toxic fillers or lubricating agents. The only down side to the powder is its bitter taste. But that's a small price to pay to eliminate cellulose or gelatin capsules which are not as harmless as most people think. It mixes fairly well so just take it in a small amount of juice and knock it back quickly. :-) For those with a sensitive digestive system, magnesium taurate and magnesium glycinate are less stimulating and better absorbed by the body and less likely to cause loose stools, gas, etc. Magnesium glycinate is thought to be the best over-all form of magnesium where bioavailability is concerned and is good for relaxation and anxiety; and magnesium taurate is also a relaxant that is good for the heart and for lowering blood pressure. But these forms have not demonstrated the pain reduction in fibro that magnesium malate has. I take magnesium malate and magnesium taurate for the specific benefits of each (fibro and high bp). I can take a larger combined daily dose without causing loose stools because the magnesium taurate isn't problematic, but I still monitor my total magnesium intake each day. I take mag malate during the day because it can be stimulating, and mag taurate before bed because it is more relaxing - sometimes added to a cup of hot Natural Calm – puts me right to sleep! (Natural Calm is magnesium ion citrate which is a lesser absorbed form of magnesium. Note that manufactures will sometimes add the less expensive mag citrate to these more expensive forms of magnesium, especially magnesium glycinate) I also occasionally rotate with magnesium orotate - a form that is excellent for heart health, angina and exercise performance. Orotates aid the formation of RNA and DNA and can penetrate the cell membranes enabling an effective delivery system deep within the cells to the mitochondria and nucleus. I generally take magnesium taurate every day to control high blood pressure, but I alternate the magnesium malate with magnesium orotate. I also use a little DIY magnesium oil as a safe, natural and inexpensive deodorant. I mention these other forms of magnesium because it's a good idea to mix it up a bit to ensure maximum delivery. No one form of magnesium works for everyone. If you find one specific form works better for you then go with it. Be sure to also take vitamins D and K each day to aid bioavailability. Contrary to belief, calcium should NOT be taken with magnesium; take them several hours apart. Studies have shown calcium is antagonistic towards magnesium and they act biochemically to cancel each other out. Here’s a great article regarding magnesium malate and fibromyalgia. (But I do not recommend the brand of magnesium malate in the article due to the addition of the toxic fillers Stearic acid, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate.) http://www.smartbodyz.com/Magnesium-Malate-Ingredients-Dose.htm Over all, this is a pure product and highly recommended especially for those dealing with fibromyalgia or anyone looking for enhanced cellular energy function.

I am giving Magnesium Malate Powder 5 stars for two reasons: it works and the product is pure--has no added ingredients. A few comments about Magnesium Malate.... In doing a bit of research about types of Magnesium, I came across the Malate form that is suggested for pain--specifically for those with conditions like fibromyalgia. Now, I do not know if that is my issue but I do have unspecified muscle pain especially after exercise. So, I ordered this Magnesium Malate Powder from Seeking Health since I do not like taking supplements in capsule/pill form. This Magnesium Malate powder has reduced muscle pain for me in a short time. I am quite amazed and happy. The powder mixes easily in water and though it does not taste great, I just drink it down quick and be done. I am doing this either twice a day (1/2 scoop each time) or at times, I take it four times a day (also in divided doses....500 mg total for the day). For me, it is not good to take this before bed because it keeps me awake. If I were to take Magnesium for sleep it would be Magnesium Gycinate or Magnesium Citrate. I am very appreciative and thankful for this Magnesium Malate powder. I believe I have actually found something that works and will continue to use this diligently toward my goal of eliminating pain. I take other forms of Magnesium as well since I am deficient in this important mineral. Magnesium Malate powder is now part of my daily regimen for its pain relieving properties.

I have been using magnesium for years and am a big advocate for it after reading some great books on the subject like Dr. Carolyn Dean's book The Magnesium Miracle and Dr. Mark Sircus' book. I have a lot of sensitivities (and MCAS) to supplements due to toxic mold exposure and I have tried a lot of different magnesiums. I used Ancient minerals Magnesium Chloride spray topically for a while but to get the dosage that I need, applying all over arms and legs 2x a day, I ended up getting insomnia after 3 weeks of use. I think it's actually due to the chloride, my doc said all that chloride can really affect the chloride channels in the brain and she thinks that is why it gave me insomnia. I also did some research and Chloride raises dopamine levels and i seem to be sensitive to things that raise dopamine levels or excitatory neurotransmitters (like zinc and b12).... I switched to Dr.Carolyn Dean's magnesium Remag, and use this topically and I have no issues with that because it has no chloride it it. however, I can't take it orally. As much as it is supposed to be super gentle on the GI tract and my whole family can take it, I get irritated intestines from it., it makes my small intestines all bubbly. I take Magnesium glycinate by metagenics and that has helped my sleep a lot (I used to get sleep disturbances if I took too much b12 or if I got really reactive but this has stopped it) and I now take this magnesium malate and I can say that my muscles feel so much more relaxed and my whole body is less sore and tight in just 3 days. I noticed it after day one but the effect is getting more with each passing day. With the MCAS my muscles get really tight/stiff as reactivity gets worse and in just 3 days of taking 1/4tsp plus 1/8tsp a day of this mag malate, I notice that my muscles are so much more relaxed. I would take more, but I think this is my limit to prevent the runs. I highly recommend this if you are looking for help with sore or tight muscles

Okay I started this tonight because I have oxalate issues and I already take calcium citrate with meals containing oxalate and this is a good addition to that mix. Only a 1/4 of a scoop (the scoop is small) is all that is needed added to 500mgs powder calcium citrate to bind to oxalates in my food/body. This helps prevent vulvodynia in me (now you know!) and it's all related to oxalates.

Been using for a few days. The taste, for starters, can be easily masked by flavoring. Not sure why there are so many complaints about that. Sure the flavor by itself isn't that pleasant, but that also means that it isn't being enhanced by high fructose corn syrup or other undesirable additives. Add it to juice. You'll be fine. Personally, I have been adding a scoop to 20ozs of water with a superfoods dissolvable tab and a few drops of colloidal silver first thing in the morning and that works perfectly for me. I get all my supplements in one go. I have not found the powder to be gritty either. I wonder if some people who complain about that got an older batch? Mine dissolves fine in cold water. The packaging was airtight on mine too, so perhaps that was an issue for those experiencing grittiness. I recommend working up to the full dose over a few days. Since I've been taking magnesium supplements for years, I went ahead and did the full dose right away and I did have some gi upset. That was my bad though as I had been taking mag citrate and there must be a difference in absorption by the body. So far I feel that it might be helping with my anxiety and possibly energy. I have chronic fatigue and muscle pain and magnesium malate is supposed to help alleviate those symptoms. It seems like a product I'll continue to use to keep my magnesium levels up.

If you have GLP 1 headaches.... Take this. If you have Tinnitus NOT due to hearing loss, take this. I originally ordered it because I was having headaches from using tirzapetide. I created a homemade electrolyte using this magnesium malate. Headaches went away immediately but a surprising benefit too was my ear ringing went away from having it in my left ear for nearly 2 years. It also eliminated my cramps in my legs from weight lifting.

This magnesium is absolutely wonderful. I have had a paradoxical reaction to most magnesium supplements (citrate and glycinate) for years. They have caused irritability, anxiety, muscle tension and insomnia. I know my body needs more magnesium so I figured as a last effort I would try magnesium malate. I am so glad I did. This product has made me feel wonderful in so many ways. It has greatly improved my mood, energy level, body aches, constipation and insomnia. I can take a full scoop at once or break it up twice a day and have had no negative side effects. As an added bonus, I notice it lowers blood sugar as well. I am not a diabetic, but if you are, I would encourage you to be extra vigilant when starting the magnesium malate to see the affect it may have on your blood sugar. The only downside for me is the taste, not very palatable (a bit fishy). That being said, the benefits gained form taking it greatly outweigh the taste. I heat up about two ounces of water, add the magnesium and let is dissolve then add juice or water and gulp it down. Works like a charm and I highly recommend it.

Probably a great magnesium supplement for most people. However, I advise caution for those with multiple sensitivities. My patient got headache, fatigue, brain fog, & joint pain even after taking only about half of 130mg (26mg elemental magnesium).

Very weird taste and difficult to dissolve

Vamos a probarlo ya actualizaré el comentario. El bote es más pequeño, cabe en la palma de la mano, a como se ve en la foto del anuncio. En AliExpress lo mandan en una bolsa sellable de aluminio y adentro otra bolsa sellable normal ...viene gordo el bolso. Es más producto porque el peso de un bote no influye en el gramaje, al ser la bolsa mucho más liviana

Creo que no es culpa del vendedor.Pero un sabor muy feo muy fuerte no se puede tomar con cualquier tipo de agua no se le quita el sabor feo.producto lo tirare dinero perdido
