Magnesium Citrate Malate Capsules give you magnesium bound to two organic acids, citric acid and malic acid, both well absorbed forms of the mineral. Each capsule provides 71mg of magnesium and the label amount is two capsules twice a day with meals. The capsules come in pots of 90 caps and 250 caps.
Magnesium is a mineral your body uses in more than 300 enzyme systems, from turning food into energy to sending nerve signals and contracting muscles. Malic acid takes part in the reactions that release energy inside cells, which is why this pairing is picked for energy and tired muscles.
Magnesium Citrate Malate Capsules are most useful for:
Each capsule provides 71mg of magnesium, which is 19% of the daily reference value. There are no fillers or binders, only magnesium citrate, magnesium malate and the vegetable capsule shell. Citrate malate magnesium is another name for it.
Take two capsules twice a day with meals, which gives you 284mg of magnesium. For everyday maintenance two capsules once a day may be enough, while for fatigue or tired, aching muscles the full four capsules are the amount to take.
A pot of 90 caps lasts about three weeks at four a day, while a pot of 250 caps lasts about two months.
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
How does citrate malate compare with bisglycinate or plain citrate?
Citrate malate sits between the two single forms. Plain citrate is well absorbed and can loosen the bowel at higher amounts, while bisglycinate is the gentlest and the usual evening choice. Citrate malate is picked for daytime use by people who want a well absorbed magnesium without the laxative edge of straight citrate.
How much magnesium citrate malate should I take a day?
Take two capsules twice a day with meals, which gives you 284mg. For a lighter top up, two capsules once a day give 142mg.
When is the best time to take it?
Take it during the day with meals, because the malate supports energy release. It is not the form to take just before bed.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. A common approach is this product during the day for energy with Magnesium Bisglycinate (Glycinate) Capsules in the evening for sleep and relaxation. Magnesium also pairs well with vitamin D, zinc and the B vitamins, while calcium is best taken about two hours apart.
Does magnesium citrate malate have side effects?
The citrate part has a mild loosening effect on the bowel at higher amounts, so take fewer capsules if your stools loosen. Otherwise magnesium at this amount is well tolerated.
What are the signs I might need magnesium?
Muscle cramps, poor sleep, low energy and tension are the signs people most often report. A blood test can confirm your level.

This dual form combines citrate for absorption with malate, which participates in the cell energy cycle. It is often chosen for energy, muscle demands and fatigue.
Many take it during the day, as the malate component supports energy production. It can be paired with a calming form like bisglycinate in the evening.
Common signs include muscle cramps, poor sleep, low energy, and tension. A blood test can confirm your level.
Magnesium pairs well with vitamin D, zinc and B vitamins. Space it from calcium by around 2 hours for absorption.
Each capsule gives you 71mg of elemental magnesium as a mix of citrate and malate. At 2 capsules twice a day (284mg) a pot of 90 lasts about three weeks. At 2 capsules once a day (142mg) it lasts six weeks.
Citrate malate is magnesium bound to both citric acid and malic acid, so it sits between the two single forms. Plain citrate is well absorbed and can loosen the bowel at higher doses. Bisglycinate is bound to glycine, is the gentlest on the stomach and is the usual evening choice. Citrate malate is often picked for daytime use by people who want a well absorbed magnesium without the laxative edge of straight citrate. All three are well absorbed; the difference is mainly how your digestion responds and when you take it.
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
