Dimagnesium malate is another common form of this compound seen in the dietary supplement market, produced by such dimetalhydroxy malate-yielding processes as the one described by a 1997 patent awarded to Albion Minerals.[3] The primary difference in this compound can be seen by its characteristic of having two elemental magnesium molecules, whereas magnesium malate has a single elemental magnesium molecule.
