i've been looking for the malic acid/magnesium combination since reading about it here. i was able to find magnesium, but not malic acid until i went to GNC. when i asked about it, they directed me to a product called Fibro-M by Organika. it contains:

60 mg elemental magnesium (from 350mg magnesium citrate)

350 mg malic acid

50 mg siberian ginseng extract

50 mg bromelain

the directions are to take 1 tablet per day or as directed by health care professional.

i started it yesterday, so i'll let you know how i make out with it.

Welcome to HW. You can find malic acid at Puritan.com for a reasonable price. You should get your dosage up to 2400 to 3200 mg per day in small steps for best results. Those other ingredients are nice (ginseng & bromelain) but not necessary for pain relief and energy production in the mitochondria of your cells. Malic Acid should be taken with food. It does cause diarrhea as a side effect but my body has adjusted. I've taken it for over 4 years and have had excellent results with it.

I haven't bought any yet, but I plugged magnesium/malic acid supplement into the search engine and some stuff came up that said it was for fibro... I WILL order it, not sure why I haven't yet!
