What's

Malic Acid

Malic acid is an organic compound that acts as a buffer for the body’s pH balance and helps to support energy production by playing a role in the Krebs cycle. Measuring malic acid levels can be used to evaluate overall metabolic health, assess oxidative stress status, and detect inflammation.
