Great “daytime” magnesium. NOW’s magnesium malate (95 mg elemental per cap) is easy on the stomach and less laxative than citrate. After a week my calf cramps and neck tightness eased, and I felt a little cleaner energy from the malate (Krebs cycle). Not a knockout sleep aid, but it supports deeper rest when I take some with dinner. How I take it (works): • Start 1 cap with breakfast + 1 cap with dinner. • Titrate to 2–4 caps/day (190–380 mg) based on cramps, stress, and stool tolerance. • I use glycinate at night if I need extra “calming,” and keep this malate for daytime. Pros: gentle on gut, flexible dosing, small veggie caps, 180-count is great value. Cons: only 95 mg per cap—you’ll need multiple caps to hit the usual 300–400 mg/day target; not the best if you want a pure sleep magnesium. Tips & cautions: • Take with food and plenty of water. • Separate by 2–4 hours from thyroid meds, antibiotics (tetracycline/quinolone), bisphosphonates, iron, zinc, or calcium. • If you have kidney disease or very low blood pressure, talk to your clinician first. • If stools loosen, reduce dose or split smaller.

Customer reviews
I’ve been using NOW magnesium malate for a while now, and it’s honestly the best magnesium supplement I’ve tried. I used to take citrate from another popular brand, but it caused stomach problems. I also tried bisglycinate but didn’t notice much benefit. With this one, no issues and I really feel more energetic. Really glad I’ve chosen it.
The bottle is good size and the quality, I have just started with it so still don’t know the result yet but it’s gentle on the stomach.
I tried NOW Foods Magnesium Malate and I liked it. It felt relatively gentle on my stomach compared with other magnesium supplements — I didn’t get strong laxative effects. I noticed subtle benefits over a few weeks: muscles felt less tense, and I felt a mild boost in energy and general calm.
Very effective and easy on the stomach! This Magnesium Malate helps with muscle relaxation, energy, and better sleep without any digestive issues. I’ve noticed less fatigue and tension since using it. Great value and quality as always from NOW Foods — definitely recommend for daily magnesium support!
This Magnesium Malate works wonderfully! I feel less muscle tension and more steady energy throughout the day. The tablets are a good size and easy to take. The ingredients are clean and effective, and the quality is exactly what I expected from NOW. Highly recommend this supplement for anyone needing extra magnesium support!
Great quality and value. The capsules are easy to swallow and come in a well-sealed bottle. The size is practical, and the ingredients look clean. Overall, a reliable product from a trusted brand.

now foods is one of my favorite supplement brands. they always manage to get the perfect pill quality, size and ingredient concentration for maximal benefits. the bottle/packaging is always great and they make sure the pill is taste free and easy to swallow. this malate has been great for my muscle and joint recovery.
Quality is great, ingredient list is great, size is huge! Magnesium is so important for muscle growth. This one doesn’t intend to help with sleep but I noticed a better longer sleeping. It has no taste and no smell. It is very beneficial and highly recommended from medical professionals and nutritionists
