Fumaric acid is very similar to malic acid and they share the responsibility of processing nutrition into usable energy, called adenosine triphosphate.
Fumaric acid has been shown to be effective in treating symptoms associated with psoriasis. Normally, the recommended starting dose of fumaric acid is 60-105 mg/day, but over time the dose can be increased to 1290 mg/day.
Fumaric acid is produced biologically in the skin when direct sunlight hits it. It is also produced commercially and can be procured as a tablet or a skin ointment.
