The magnesium malate used in Active Magnesium Chewable is similar to magnesium citrate insofar as neither form is considered a chelated form, and each can be used to increase daily magnesium intake. Magnesium malate is magnesium bound to malic acid, so this form is sometimes used to support normal detoxification pathways and the Krebs cycle (cellular energy production). Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid, and is often used more to support bowel relaxation. Magnesium malate may also be better tolerated by individuals with sensitive stomachs as it usually has a less pronounced stool-softening effect than the citrate. (A chelated form would be even gentler on the digestive system.)*
