A form of creatine chemically bound to malic acid, marketed as an alternative to the more common creatine monohydrate.
Why it’s used
Taken with the same general goal as other creatine forms: supporting muscle creatine stores for short, high-intensity exercise performance.
What the evidence says
The large body of creatine research establishing benefits for high-intensity exercise performance has been conducted almost entirely with creatine monohydrate; the malate salt form specifically has much less independent research behind it, so it is not accurate to apply the monohydrate evidence directly to this form.
