Malic acid supplement, sumac

Thanks for the updates @MeSci! It’s great that you managed to avoid PEM those days. I had similar experiences—outings which reliably triggered PEM for me suddenly didn’t anymore if I took malic acid ahead of time. I’m glad that the sumac seems to be helping you even though you have to balance the negative effects.
 
@jnmaciuch I just came across a paper about about dietary malic acid enhancing oxidative muscle fiber types (slow twitch fiber that came up in Wust’s research) that I thought was really interesting. I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned this before because I can’t read through this whole thread. I’ll attempt to post a link below.

I’d googled malic acid fiber because I’ve been taking sumac once in a while and it seems to have a stimulant effect on me, hard to say if it’s actually energy though. I took it with a high fiber supplement yesterday and didn’t feel as much hence the search.
