A component of the energy-producing Krebs cycle
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, as well as those with primary fibromyalgia.
Primary fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition affecting principally middle-aged women, characterized by a syndrome of generalized musculoskeletal pain, aches, stiffness, and tenderness at specific anatomical sites. This condition is considered primary when there are no obvious causes.
Malic acid, when combined with magnesium, has been shown to decrease the pain and tenderness associated with primary fibromyalgia (FM). Although the mechanism of how malic acid works is not fully understood, combined with magnesium it has been shown to improve FM symptoms. Many experts hypothesize that malic acid, a critical component of the Krebs cycle production of cellular energy, is useful due to the possible role that an inherent metabolic imbalance may play in FM.
