Studies have demonstrated that potassium plus magnesium aspartates can help occasional fatigue, improve cellular oxidation, and benefit the heart muscle and support optimal blood circulation. Magnesium is vital for muscle contraction and relaxation, and potassium promotes a healthy heartbeat.* Each capsule supplies 100mg of elemental magnesium from 500mg of magnesium aspartate and 99mg of elemental potassium from 450mg of potassium aspartate.

Malic acid is both derived from food sources and synthesized in the body through the citric acid (Krebs) cycle. Its importance to the production of energy in the body during both aerobic and anaerobic conditions is well established. Because of its obvious relationship to energy depletion during exercise, malic acid may be of benefit to healthy individuals interested in maximizing their energy production. In an animal study on the effect of the oral administration of malic acid, a significant increase in anaerobic endurance was found. Interestingly, the improvement in endurance was not accompanied by an increase in carbohydrate and oxygen utilization, suggesting that malic acid has carbohydrate and oxygen-sparing effects.*
