Magnesium L-Threonate for Cognition

“As a physician in the longevity space, I am usually incredibly cynical about the supplement industry, because 90% of it *is* an overhyped cash grab. Magnesium L-Threonate, however, is one of the rare exceptions—but only if you are using it for the right reasons. If you want to fix muscle cramps or constipation, it is a complete waste of money. Buy cheap Magnesium Citrate or Glycinate for that. BUT if you are trying to fix brain fog, focus, or sleep architecture, Threonate (Magtein) is the only form mathematically worth it.”

“I take magtein regularly, but don’t feel it helps my sleep at all. I take it solely because some research shows cognitive benefits related to BBB. That being said, I don’t think there are any studies that aren’t sponsored by the manufacturer, so there is a good chance it has no meaningful effect at all.”

“I know this is old but I wanted to comment about my experience as well. I was deficient in Magnesium on my blood labs. I was in an accident and had PCS with terrible headaches/ migraines and anxiety. I took Magnesium L threonate for about a year everyday in the morning. It cured my migraines/headaches and lowered the anxiety to almost nothing. However my ADHD was TERRIBLE probably the worst it’s ever been and I was clinically depressed.”
