Fibro Plus — Magnesium Malate, Malic Acid & L-Glycine for Muscle Energy Metabolism, Cellular Comfort & Mitochondrial Support
Fibro Plus is a deliberately focused three-ingredient formula built around a specific and well-researched nutritional hypothesis: that muscle discomfort and fatigue are linked to impaired energy production in muscle cells, and that magnesium malate and malic acid — working together — can support the normal cellular energy pathways most relevant to muscle function.*
This is not a broad-spectrum formula. It is a targeted nutritional intervention based on the biochemistry of the Krebs cycle and the role of magnesium and malic acid as essential cofactors in normal mitochondrial energy production.*
Serving size is 2 vegetarian capsules, 45 servings per container (90 capsules).
What's inside and why it matters
Magnesium (as magnesium malate oxide, 200mg per serving, 48% DV)
Magnesium is an essential mineral and cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body — including many directly involved in energy metabolism. Within the mitochondria, magnesium is required for the normal function of ATP synthase and for the binding and stabilisation of ATP itself. Without adequate magnesium, cellular energy production is compromised at a fundamental level.*
Magnesium malate is the form of magnesium used here — the magnesium salt of malic acid. This form is chosen specifically because of its relevance to the Krebs cycle (the biochemical pathway in which malic acid is a direct intermediate), and because of research interest in this specific form for muscle energy support. Magnesium malate is also considered a well-absorbed, well-tolerated form of magnesium.*
Malic Acid (300mg per serving)
Malic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many foods (notably apples) and is a direct intermediate in the Krebs cycle — the mitochondrial energy production pathway. As a Krebs cycle intermediate, malic acid is directly involved in the chain of biochemical reactions that produce ATP from carbohydrates and fats.*
The inclusion of malic acid alongside magnesium malate is significant: while the magnesium malate compound already contains malic acid as its counter-ion, the additional free malic acid at 300mg provides further substrate availability for the Krebs cycle — supporting the energy production pathway that is central to the formula's design.*
Research interest in malic acid for muscle energy support has focused on its role as an aluminium chelator (binding aluminium, which can interfere with normal enzymatic function), a substrate for normal ATP production, and its potential role in supporting normal muscle metabolism under conditions of metabolic or oxidative stress.*
L-Glycine (50mg per serving)
Glycine is the simplest and most abundant amino acid in the human body — a primary structural component of collagen, a precursor to glutathione (the body's master antioxidant), and an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and brainstem, supporting normal nervous system regulation.*
In the context of this formula, glycine serves multiple complementary roles: supporting normal collagen synthesis in muscle connective tissue, contributing to normal antioxidant defence via glutathione precursor activity, and supporting normal nervous system regulation — all of which are relevant to the formula's overall focus on normal muscle comfort and function.*
The rationale behind this combination
The pairing of magnesium and malic acid for muscle energy support has been the subject of research attention — most notably research examining the combination specifically in the context of fibromyalgia. The Krebs cycle hypothesis underlying this formula proposes that impaired mitochondrial energy production in muscle tissue contributes to chronic muscle fatigue and discomfort, and that supplementing key Krebs cycle intermediates (malic acid) alongside the essential cofactor for ATP production (magnesium) supports the body's normal capacity for muscle energy generation.*
At a glance — what this formula supports
- Normal mitochondrial energy production and ATP synthesis in muscle cells*
- Healthy muscle energy metabolism via Krebs cycle support*
- Normal muscle comfort and reduction of occasional muscle fatigue*
- Antioxidant defence via L-glycine as a glutathione precursor*
- Normal connective tissue and muscle structure via glycine and collagen support*
- Nervous system regulation via glycine's role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter*
