Malic acid is an organic acid naturally present in many fruits, particularly apples — its name comes from the Latin malum, meaning apple. It takes part in the Krebs cycle, a fundamental biochemical process in cellular energy metabolism, and is related to citric acid and vitamin C, both found in a wide variety of foods.

Nature et Partage’s malic acid is 100% pure malic acid, with no additives, preservatives or excipients — a purity that guarantees a product free of anything superfluous. It is packed in an eco-responsible 500 g kraft pouch, reflecting the brand’s commitment to environmentally conscious practices, and the large format offers excellent value for regular users, keeping well for several months when stored properly.

Malic acid powder dissolves easily in water. The recommended dose is half to one heaped teaspoon a day, dissolved in a litre of water. It is best drunk in small amounts spread throughout the day rather than all at once, which supports gradual, steady absorption. For people following the Andreas Moritz protocol, it is important to follow the steps described in the reference book closely — malic acid only replaces the apple juice step; the rest of the protocol remains unchanged.

Store malic acid in a cool, dry place away from light and humidity. Reseal the pouch carefully after each use to preserve product quality.

Malic acid powder is irritating to the eyes — handle with care and avoid contact with the eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children. This food supplement should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
