Magnesium DL-Malate is the magnesium salt of DL-malic acid. It combines an essential mineral with an organic acid and is primarily used as a source of magnesium in nutritional supplement formulations.
The official Dr. Paul Lohmann® product portfolio includes several Magnesium DL-Malate grades for use in food supplements.
Dr. Paul Lohmann® supplies Magnesium DL-Malate for specialized B2B applications in the nutraceutical and dietary supplement industry.
In nutritional supplement applications, Magnesium Malate is used as a source of magnesium in a wide range of product concepts. The combination of magnesium and malate offers manufacturers an alternative to conventional inorganic magnesium compounds and enables the development of differentiated mineral formulations.
Magnesium DL-Malate is particularly suitable for solid dosage forms and dry powder products. It can be incorporated into capsules, tablets, powder sachets, stick packs and multi-mineral formulations. It is also used in magnesium complexes that combine several magnesium sources within one finished product.
Typical uses include:
The required quantity of Magnesium DL-Malate depends on the specified elemental magnesium content and the intended dosage of the finished product.
Magnesium Malate is also used in sports nutrition and active-lifestyle formulations. Magnesium is an essential mineral that contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function, electrolyte balance and the normal functioning of the nervous system. It also contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
These nutritional functions make Magnesium Malate a suitable ingredient for products developed for physically active and health-conscious consumers. Typical formulations include sports nutrition capsules, tablets, mineral blends and products designed to supplement the daily magnesium intake.
Health claims relate to magnesium as a nutrient and may only be used when the finished product complies with the applicable legal conditions of use.
Magnesium Malate in Sports nutrition Applications:
Magnesium Malate can be used in supplement concepts in which the selected magnesium compound is an important element of the product positioning. In contrast to traditional inorganic magnesium sources, Magnesium Malate contains magnesium bound to malate, the salt of malic acid.
This enables manufacturers to develop products that clearly identify the specific magnesium source and distinguish themselves from conventional magnesium formulations. Magnesium DL-Malate may be used as the sole magnesium source or as part of a combination containing different magnesium compounds.
Applications include:
When developing products with Magnesium Malate, manufacturers must consider both the total quantity of the compound and its specified elemental magnesium content. Additional factors such as particle size, bulk density, powder flow, tablet size and compatibility with other ingredients may influence the finished formulation.
Due to its limited water solubility, Magnesium Malate is primarily used in solid dosage forms and dry powder applications. Application-specific testing is recommended to evaluate processing behavior, stability and compatibility under the intended manufacturing and storage conditions.
Relevant formulation parameters include:
Choosing the right Magnesium Malate manufacturer and supplier is essential for supplement manufacturers requiring consistent raw material quality and secure supply chains.

Magnesium DL-Malate is the magnesium salt of DL-malic acid. The Dr. Paul Lohmann® product is supplied as Magnesium DL-Malate Trihydrate with the chemical formula C₄H₄MgO₅ · 3 H₂O and CAS No. 6150-86-3.
It is available as a powder or fine powder and is intended primarily for use as a magnesium source in food supplements.
Magnesium DL-Malate is mainly used in dietary and nutritional supplements, including:
Its physical properties make it especially relevant for solid dosage forms and dry powder applications.
“DL” refers to the stereochemical form of the malate component. DL-malic acid contains both the D- and L-forms of malic acid.
The precise designation helps distinguish Magnesium DL-Malate from compounds manufactured exclusively with one specific malic-acid stereoisomer.
Magnesium DL-Malate has limited water solubility. The official product data for a Dr. Paul Lohmann® powder grade indicates a water solubility below 1 g/l at 20 °C.
Actual behavior in a finished product may be influenced by:
For this reason, manufacturers should conduct application-specific solubility, dissolution and stability tests.
Magnesium DL-Malate contains magnesium bound to malate, the anion of an organic acid. Inorganic magnesium compounds include substances such as magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate or magnesium chloride.
The compounds differ in characteristics such as:
The most suitable magnesium source depends on the intended dosage form, target magnesium content, product positioning and regulatory requirements.
