Vilgain Magnesium Malate is a chelated form of magnesium in vegan capsules. Malate, to which the magnesium is bound, is the salt of malic acid, which is a natural component of the Krebs cycle (the key pathway where cells convert nutrients into energy). Magnesium also contributes to normal energy metabolism.
Magnesium is a part of many important processes in the body and is therefore an essential part of daily supplement needs in sports and everyday life. It influences the nervous system and many of its effects are also felt during exercise.
Along with bisglycinate, malate is one of the highly absorbable forms of magnesium due to the unique binding of magnesium to a single malate molecule, which allows for faster absorption while protecting the element from the action of antinutrients that can negatively affect magnesium absorption [2].
