Description

Malic Acid 400mg 60 Caps

What is Malic Acid

• Malic acid is an organic acid naturally present in many fruits, especially apples.

• It plays a role in the Krebs cycle (also called the citric acid cycle), which is the metabolic pathway that generates energy in cells.

• In supplements, it’s often used for muscle fatigue, recovery after exercise, and sometimes for pain or fibromyalgia, particularly in combination with magnesium.

Ingredients:

• Active ingredient: 400 mg of malic acid per capsule

• Other ingredients: capsule shell (could be gelatin or vegetarian), fillers / bulking agents, possibly anti-caking agents like silica, maybe magnesium stearate, depending on manufacturing practices

• Intended use: support energy production, reduce muscle soreness, help fatigue recovery, support metabolic function

Benefits:

Here are benefits generally attributed to malic acid supplementation:

• Helps with energy production at a cellular level (because of its role in the Krebs cycle)

• May reduce muscle pain, soreness, and fatigue, especially after exercise

• Sometimes used in protocols for fibromyalgia; some studies show improvements in tender points or overall fatigue when used with other supplements

• Could aid detoxification or help relieve chemical sensitivity (although evidence is less strong here)

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For:

• Overuse can lead to GI discomfort (e.g. acid reflux, stomach upset)

• If combined with other acids or supplements, may increase acid load in stomach, which can irritate sensitive individuals

• Interactions: less common, but always safer to check if using other supplements or medications
