Score 85.0

A good quality magnesium malate supplement, providing a bioavailable form beneficial for energy and muscle health at a reasonable price, suitable for general magnesium support.

Analysis

Magnesium malate is a preferred form for individuals seeking energy support or relief from muscle fatigue due to malic acid's role in the Krebs cycle. It also has good bioavailability for general magnesium repletion and is less likely to cause digestive upset than citrate. The 160mg dose is suitable for daily supplementation, though some may opt for two servings for higher needs. The lower review count might reflect a more niche brand or specific customer base.

Pros
  • Magnesium malate is a highly bioavailable and well-tolerated form
  • Good for energy and muscle support
  • Reasonable price per serving
Cons
  • Lower per-serving dosage than some alternatives
  • Not as well-reviewed as major brands
  • Exact form from ingredients lists 'N/A' despite product name
Warnings
  • None specific.
