Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Citrate/Malate

Muscle contraction needs a steady ATP supply, and that supply runs through the Krebs cycle, the sequence of reactions your cells use to turn fuel into usable energy. Malate is one of the intermediates in that cycle, which is why some magnesium formulas pair it with citrate instead of using citrate alone.

Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Citrate/Malate provides 120mg of magnesium bound to both citrate and malate, pairing a bioavailable mineral form with a direct participant in the body's main energy-production cycle.

Two Chelates Instead of One – Citrate and malate both support magnesium absorption, but malate also plays a direct role in the Krebs cycle, so this formula does more than just deliver the mineral.

Built for Energy Production Specifically – Malate is an intermediate in the cycle your cells use to generate ATP, making this a reasonable pick if energy metabolism, not just muscle relaxation or sleep, is your main reason for supplementing.

Same Core Benefits, Different Chelate Combination – Cardiac function, neuromuscular contraction, and acid-alkaline balance are all supported here too, just through a different pairing than Pure Encapsulations' citrate-only or glycinate formulas.

Magnesium activates the enzymes behind more than 300 physiological functions, including neuromuscular contraction, cardiac function, and acid-alkaline balance, and this formula provides it bound to both citrate and malate for absorption. Malate is also an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, the pathway your cells use to convert carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats into ATP, which is why this combination is sometimes chosen specifically for energy-production support rather than citrate alone. Research on magnesium intake broadly has been associated with cardiovascular function, glucose utilization, bone mineral density, and positive mood across several population studies.

How to Use Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Citrate/Malate

Dose: Take 1 to 4 capsules daily, with food.

Split doses across meals if you're taking more than one or two capsules, and start at the lower end of the range since higher magnesium doses can have a mild laxative effect for some people.

If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition, or are taking any medication, consult your health professional before use.
