Is magnesium malate ok to take, or will this too alkalise the intestines?
No, magnesium malate is an acidified form of magnesium. The acidified forms of magnesium are much safer and better absorbed. Another benefit of the magnesium malate is that both the magnesium and the malic acid it is bound to are both precursors for the formation of ATP, which fuels the cells and helps them to function properly.
