A form of magnesium
Magnesium malate supplements
903 magnesium products in the NIH label database list magnesium as magnesium malate (6% of the 15,088 magnesium products); their median is 100 mg of magnesium per serving, against 86 mg across all magnesium products; the 81 whose only supplement ingredient is magnesium list a median of 220 mg (DSLD version 9.4.0, January 2026).
How does magnesium malate compare with the other forms?
The median amount of magnesium per serving in products naming each form; the count in brackets. The amount is the magnesium the label gives, as printed (the Supplement Facts row normally states the element; a row named as the compound usually gives the compound's weight and is left out of these figures).

Is the amount the magnesium or the whole magnesium malate?
A Supplement Facts row normally states the magnesium itself (a row like "Magnesium (as magnesium malate)"); a row named as the compound (a row like "Magnesium malate") usually states the compound's weight, which includes what the magnesium is bound to and is larger than the magnesium it supplies. The front of a bottle may print either. Of the 903 products here, 900 give the magnesium in its own row (8 of them an amount far outside what other labels list, or one their own %DV disagrees with); 3 give no amount of their own or one in another unit.
The adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level for magnesium is 350 mg a day; it covers magnesium from supplements and medicines only, not food or water. At the most servings their labels direct, 154 of the 892 magnesium malate products with a plausible amount (17.3%) give more than that.
