Product Information
Magnesium Citrate and Malate to support heart, muscles, and energy metabolism — Thorne
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions in the body — from heart and muscle function to cellular energy production and carbohydrate metabolism. Thorne's Magnesium Citrate and Malate (CitraMate) is a formula that combines two distinct and complementary forms of this mineral: 55 mg of magnesium citrate and 80 mg of Albion® dimagnesium malate, for a total of 135 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule. This combination can support the Krebs cycle and cellular energy production, making it a particularly relevant choice for those who want to support cardiac and skeletal muscle function, bone health, and overall well-being. Formulated without gluten, lactose, soy, and with a vegetable capsule.
Thorne's Magnesium CitraMate is a mineral supplement with 135 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, combining citrate and dimagnesium malate (Albion®), designed for those who want to support energy metabolism, cardiac and skeletal muscle function, and bone well-being. It can be beneficial for active adults, athletes, people with frequent muscle fatigue, or those who value a comprehensive approach to magnesium intake.
Thorne's Magnesium CitraMate combines two forms of magnesium with distinct and complementary profiles:
Magnesium Citrate (55 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule) is one of the most widely used forms of magnesium in supplementation, with good solubility and assimilation by the body. It is suitable for those who want to support general mineral intake and digestive balance.
Albion® Dimagnesium Malate (80 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule) is a form of magnesium chelated by Albion®, bound to malic acid — an organic acid naturally present in cellular metabolism, particularly in the Krebs cycle (the main cycle of energy production in cells). The combination of magnesium with malate can support cellular energy and muscle well-being, and is frequently used in contexts of active well-being routines and muscle fatigue.
Malic acid, naturally present in the composition of dimagnesium malate, has a history of use in contexts of muscular and energetic well-being, being an endogenous compound involved in the aerobic energy production cycle.
Excipients — medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, microcrystalline cellulose, and hypromellose (vegetable capsule) — are commonly used in pharmaceutical-grade formulations. The product contains no gluten, lactose, soy, magnesium palmitate, or stearic acid.
To consider
- Mild gastrointestinal discomfort (gas, bloating, or softer stools) may occur in some individuals when starting or increasing the dose of magnesium. These tend to resolve with dose adjustment.
- Magnesium citrate has a known laxative effect — the combination with malate can attenuate this effect, but it should be considered by those prone to soft stools.

FAQs
Magnesium and malic acid are two nutrients frequently studied in the context of muscle wellness and fatigue. Individuals with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue may consider this supplement as part of an integrated wellness approach — always with medical supervision and never as a substitute for clinical care.
Yes. Magnesium can contribute to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Malate, with its relation to the Krebs cycle, can be particularly relevant for those who need energy and muscle support in intense training routines.
CitraMate combines citrate and malate, and is particularly suited to supporting energy metabolism, cardiac and skeletal muscle, and the Krebs cycle — making it a good choice for daytime use and active routines. Glycinate, bonded with glycine, is often preferred for use at the end of the day due to its profile more associated with relaxation and sleep support. Both contain magnesium with the authorised claims in the EU.
