Yes, magnesium is very reactive. It will react with water, most acids, and the halogens at room temperature and with nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide when heated. These are just a few substances that magnesium can react with

Yes - if there is water present too.

Acids dissociate in water: [AH] <--> [A]- + H+

So when malic acid is dissolved in water, you get [malate]- + H+

The general formula for acid/metal reactions is

Acid + metal --> metal salt + hydrogen gas.

If you pour the malic acid solution over magnesium metal, it will bubble (hydrogen gas produced) and magnesium malate (salt) will be formed.

Magnesium malate has been reported to be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

If you just pour dry malic acid crystals onto magnesium metal, absolutely nothing will happen.

In solution, malic acid can be made to react with magnesium ions to form magnesium malate.

Mg + C4H6O5 (in water) --> [Mg]2+ [-O-C(=O)-CH(OH)-CH2-C(=O)-O-] + H2

You will see the reaction fizz which is the hydrogen gas being produced. There is one magnesium cation for every malate anion to balance the charges.

The product magnesium malate has been shown to lessen the symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue in several scientific studies.

Benefits of malic acid?

Malic acid is a naturally occurring fruit acid. 90% of the total acid content in apples is malic acid. When malic acid is added to foods (E296), it is usually to make use of its flavour profile. It can make foods taste fresher - like biting into a crisp green apple. It also blends flavours together and reduces the need for some artificial sweeteners, like aspartame. Malic acid is metabolised through the Krebs cycle, which means it can be used as a source of energy by your body. A selection of foods where you might find malic acid include jams and jellies, sugar candy, savoury snacks, fruit juices and dried fruits. Malic acid is also sometimes used in dog chews because it makes them salivate which keeps their teeth healthy. In medicine, a combination of malic acid with magnesium salts has been shown to reduce some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia which is a huge benefit!


What chemical does Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid make if both are combined?

Does malic acid add sugar to apples?

No. Malic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. Sugars are almost always cyclic hemiacetals. Whilst it is possible for the human body to utilise malic acid as a source of energy, this does not make the acid a sugar. In fact, malic acid gives apples a sour taste so it does not even add to the sweetness of the fruit.

Before you do any type of gallbladder detox, you would need to speak with your doctor. DL malic acid and DL hydoxysuccinic acid are things you would want to run by your doctor for sure. Malic acid is found in fruit, but you want to make sure it doesn't interact with current medications.
