Magnesium L-threonate in the form of Magtein® is a patented form of the mineral that is often chosen as a source of magnesium for nervous system support. Three capsules per day provide 2000 mg of magnesium L-threonate, which is equivalent to 144 mg of elemental magnesium in a form that is well absorbed by the body.
What to consider when choosing magnesium l-threonate?
One capsule contains 667 mg of magnesium L-threonate in the form of Magtein® - a patented ingredient from MIT, which has been used in a number of clinical studies. A full daily dose of three capsules provides 2000 mg of magnesium L-threonate and 144 mg of elemental magnesium. There are 90 capsules in the bottle, which means one package is designed for exactly 30 days of use.
Minimal excipients: vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum, water), rice flour, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide. Non-GMO product, suitable for vegans.
How is magnesium l-threonate different from other forms of magnesium?
Magnesium is available in many forms: citrate, glycinate, oxide, malate. Each of them differs in digestibility and tolerability. L-threonate is a relatively new form that appeared as a result of research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its feature is high bioavailability and the ability to be well absorbed by the body.
Different forms of magnesium may differ in tolerability and suitability for specific purposes. While citrate and glycinate are more commonly chosen as a general source of magnesium, L-threonate in the form of Magtein® is positioned by the manufacturer as a form for supporting cognitive function and the nervous system. The choice of form depends on your goals and the recommendation of your doctor or pharmacist.
How much magnesium l-threonate to take per day
Recommended dosage from Natural Factors: 1 capsule 3 times a day - that is, 3 capsules evenly throughout the day. The manufacturer recommends taking the product for at least 6 weeks to evaluate the result. When planning a course longer than three months - consultation with a doctor is mandatory.
It is better to coordinate the dosage with a specialist, especially if you are already taking other forms of magnesium or have chronic kidney disease - magnesium is excreted by the kidneys, and an excess is not neutral.
Who is this format suitable for?
Vegetarian capsules without gelatin are a convenient option for those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. The absence of GMO ingredients will be important for those who consciously choose supplements with a clean composition.
Magnesium L-threonate in the form of Magtein® is often chosen by older adults who want to support nervous system and cognitive health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle approach, or by those who have already tried other forms of magnesium and want to compare tolerability and subjective effects.
