Magnesium malate is a combination of magnesium and malic acid (malate), a substance that naturally plays a role in the citric acid cycle, the process by which your cells release energy from food. Vit4ever's magnesium malate comes in a vegetable cellulose (HPMC) capsule, without the binders and compressed powder that are pressed into a tablet. A daily serving of 3 capsules provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 80% of the reference intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach jar contains 365 capsules, enough for over four months at the recommended dosage of 3 units per day. What many people don't realize is that with a tablet, your stomach first has to break down the compression force from the manufacturing process before absorption truly begins. A capsule simply dissolves as soon as the shell gets wet, without anything needing to disintegrate first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Capsule and Not a Tablet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies not in the active substance, but in the form surrounding it. A tablet is made by compressing powder under high pressure, often with binders like microcrystalline cellulose or additional stearic acid to ensure the tablet maintains its shape. With a capsule, this isn't necessary: the magnesium malate is loosely dosed into a shell, without any compression force. At Vit4ever, this shell is entirely plant-based (HPMC), making it suitable for those who prefer not to use gelatin. For people who have difficulty swallowing larger, harder tablets, a capsule is often more pleasant: the surface is smoother, the shape flexes slightly during swallowing, and there's no sharp edge like on an oval tablet. The swallowing process itself also works differently: a capsule slides down in one piece with a gulp of water, while a tablet sometimes sticks to the tongue or palate before descending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium Bound to Malic Acid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn magnesium malate, magnesium is coupled with malate, the salt of malic acid. Malic acid is naturally present in apples and other fruits and is involved in the step of the citric acid cycle where cells produce usable energy from carbohydrates and fats. By binding magnesium to this specific molecule, a relatively water-soluble salt is obtained. This makes magnesium malate a different choice from, for example, magnesium oxide, a form that dissolves much less effectively and therefore reacts differently in your digestive tract. Vit4ever incorporates this form into a capsule so that you absorb the magnesium and malic acid all at once, without additional compression or tablet coating. Some tablets also receive a thin coating to mask the taste or strengthen the tablet; with a capsule, this coating is superfluous, as the shell itself is already taste-neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e300 mg Magnesium Per Day, Detailed Per Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily serving of 3 capsules provides a total of 2000 mg of magnesium malate, of which 300 mg is elemental magnesium: this is the part your body actually uses as magnesium. Broken down per unit, each capsule provides approximately 100 mg of elemental magnesium. Many wonder why manufacturers calculate with \"elemental\" magnesium rather than the total weight of the salt. In short: the salt (malate) does not count as magnesium; only the metal itself counts. 300 mg of elemental magnesium corresponds to 80% of the reference intake, an amount consistent with what is often used as a supplementary daily dose in nutritional research. Since the dose is distributed over 3 capsules, you can easily spread the intake throughout the day instead of taking everything at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Not Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from magnesium malate, this capsule contains only the plant-based HPMC shell. There are no tablet binders, no glazing agents for a smooth coating, and no compressed powder—ingredients often found in compressed tablets to help the product retain its shape. This makes the ingredient list short and clear: magnesium malate and a capsule shell, nothing more. For those who always read the ingredient list of a supplement, this is a welcome point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those debating between a capsule and a tablet: the active substance, magnesium malate, is identical. Only the way you take it differs. A capsule is a practical choice if you prefer not to swallow a compressed tablet, if you have difficulty with larger tablets, or if you simply appreciate the shorter ingredient list inherent to capsules. And if you ever forget a capsule: do not take a double dose next time; simply resume your next daily serving as usual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49392796827876,"sku":"vit4-442","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Magnesiummalaat365capsVit4ever_f08bc702-39cd-4708-bda6-81a3182220c8.jpg?v=1783955003","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/vit4ever-malate-de-magnesium-365-gelules-vit4ever","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
