Introduction
Malic acid is an organic carboxylic diacid compound that can be found in many sour or tart foods such as unripened fruits. Malic acid has been used as a dietary supplement for its potential health benefits, although not enough research has been conducted on its reported uses as a nutritional supplement. High amounts of malic acid intake may cause some side effects. Consult your physician before using a supplement containing malic acid

Considerations
Malic acid may interfere with the functioning of certain drugs and medications, although a clear relationship has not yet been established. Malic acid may reduce blood pressure, which may interfere with certain blood pressure medications, causing adverse effects such as dizziness and fatigue. Chronic malic acid supplementation may increase weight gain and change your eating habits, which may interfere with some weight loss drugs, increasing the risk of developing side effects associated with the specific weight loss agent you are taking. Consult your physician before taking malic acid if you are on any other medications or drugs to make sure there will not be any adverse interactions
