How is magnesium l-threonate different from citrate or oxide?
Magnesium forms vary in tolerability and absorption characteristics. Magnesium oxide is the least expensive but often produces a pronounced laxative effect at standard dosages. Citrate and malate are better tolerated, but in some people they also cause gastrointestinal discomfort at higher doses.
Magnesium L-threonate, according to the manufacturer, has less of a laxative effect than other forms - this is stated directly on the Neuro-Mag® label. For those who have previously experienced similar reactions to magnesium, this may be a practically important difference.
Different forms of magnesium may differ in tolerability depending on the individual characteristics of the body - check the choice of form with your doctor or pharmacist.
How much magnesium l-threonate should I take per day?
The manufacturer recommends taking 3 capsules per day. The specific time of administration and distribution of the dose during the day - as recommended by a doctor or according to the instructions on the label. General rule: before starting to take any dietary supplement, it is worth consulting with a specialist, especially if there are chronic diseases or concurrent medication.
A package of 90 capsules is enough for 30 days at the standard dosage - one full course of treatment.
Who is the vegetarian capsule format suitable for?
The gelatin-free vegetable cellulose capsule is a convenient choice for vegetarians, vegans, and those avoiding animal products. The capsule is odorless and tasteless, making it easy to swallow.
Neuro-Mag® by Life Extension is marketed as a daily magnesium supplement for adults. It is a dietary supplement, not a medicine - it is not a substitute for a balanced diet and is not a treatment for any condition.
