Malic Acid is closely related to Citric Acid . Vitamin C . that is found naturally in a wide range of foods including green apples. In its purest form (as we sell it), it is quite tart and bitter, and has been used in for many years as a flavouring in a variety of different sweets and drinks in order to provide a sharp and tangy taste. As a dietary supplement, Malic Acid is prized for its role in helping the body to release energy from food, and has been linked with offering improved endurance for athletes.
In more detail
Malic Acid is one of the main fruit acids, and is produced naturally in a range of plants, most notably in apples. It is a non toxic and 100% natural product, that, when ingested into the body as a supplement to a healthy diet has been shown to offer improved levels of energy, particularly during exercise.
Malic acid should be of particular interest to anyone engaged in training for endurance events such as long distance running, or cycling, as it has been shown to offer an increase in performance when taken regularly. Malic Acid works as part of the digestive process in order to release energy from food more efficiently under conditions where the cells are lacking in oxygen . such as in the later stages of an event. The use of Malic Acid while training or competing offers users the greatest benefits in the hypoxic stages exercise, and prolongs the period at which the body performs at its optimum level of efficiency.
Recent Medical testing has also shown links between the use of Malic Acid as a dietary supplement, and a reduction in pain caused by the chronic condition Fibromyalgia, which is a long term degenerative disorder that causes pain throughout the body, particularly in the joints.
