    I am firm believer that one must stop consuming the damaging foods that are causing the problem(s) in the first place like sugar, seed oils and processed foods. Yes Mag Threonate is quite effective in helping my short term memory. Been on a mag 3 supplement for three years. There are other neurotrophic compounds but mag 3 works well and quickly.

      Yes. Agreed.
      Mg salts, then Mg flakes (a bit more concentrated) then Mg Oil (strongest concentration) also very useful for those who don’t have a bath to soak in. But use a shower. Can apply it locally.
      I read a report many years ago about a Professor of Biology in Birmingham University UK.
      Did a study of a large sample group. He measured their Mg levels, then said take a bath in 100L of water with a 20% solution of Mg salts. For 20 minutes every day for 7 days. Then return to be measured again.
      He found that the whole group on average had improved Mg levels by appx. 33%.
      Which is massive. Especially when compared to supplements or food. Which offer either fractions of a percentage point (trace amounts) or maybe 1-2% at best.
      Ergo: the skin being our biggest gland offers the most efficient way of getting Mg into the body.

    I’ve had much trouble sleeping for the last few decades - like 2-5 hours/night (usually 3-4). I tried magnesium - probably citrate - a year or two ago and got nothing - not even side effects. As soon as I watched this video I ordered some Magtein. I started taking it on Nov. 22, and after one month my sleep had increased to 7-9 hours sleep, or more, if I was able to stay in bed long enough! I’m blown away by the improvement. Within two weeks, I heard (I think from Dr. Andrew Huberman) that people who wake up and can’t go back to sleep should also take Apigenin, a derivative of chamomile, so I ordered it as well. These two supplements are life-changing for me! Thank you for this report and research!

      @grochef Před 4 měsíci +5

      Hi, Bonnie. One of the positive effects that are immediate is better sleep onset and duration. If taken with L-Theanine, GABA receptors and GABA levels are both increased adding to better relaxation and better quality sleep. The lag of recognizable benefits may also be due to upregulating of the benefits when we start in a deficient state. You may want to have your Mg levels checked, since you are taking two types of bioavailable Mg (Glycinate and Threonate). Both are great, but you may want to alternate between them to prevent too much serum Mg. Best to you.

The video explains taking L-Threonate is OK as long as your other supplements are low in Magnesium.

    Thanks for this very useful and informative presentation. I discovered magnesium L thereonate over two years ago and I have been taking this supplement at night since that time. I had been taking magnesium glycinate prior to discovering magnesium glycinate, as I have osteoporosis and added magnesium to my regimen to boost my chances of improving my bone density. I was not sure if I should continue taking magnesium glycinate with L theonate, so I continued taking both at different times of the day (Glycinate early in the day and L thereonate at night. Now that I know that L thereonate also provides many of the other benefits that other forms of magnesium provide in terms of bone strength , I will now reduce the dose of magnesium Glycinate.
    In-keeping with what was said in this presentation about L Thereonate and its contribution to sleep, I also found no evidence that I was able to fall asleep much quicker, but I did notice that I was mentally alert on waking and throughout the day, even when I did not sleep very well.

    I have used several forms of magnesium over the years. They each have their benefits. I have had the best luck taking several forms. For leg cramps that wake me in the night with terrible calf, foot, or leg cramps that nothing but a walk would relieve, rubbing pure magnesium oil into that foot and leg provides immediate relief so I can return to sleep. The only reason I am considering taking magnesium L-threonate is that the few magnesium complex capsules I have found with at least 7 forms do not also contain L-threonate and it apparently, with current research, affects the brain. So I will be taking the multicomplex and one tab of L-threonate.

    Interesting that LifeExtension's Magtein product contains too many extra additives. I found two brands out there that had rice flour. I'd rather they had no additives but if I can't find 0 additives, then I'll go with the 1 and rice flour is something I can say and recognize as simple compared to all the other additives. So Magtein has been around for a while and the last research I did was that Oxide was the best, now this comes out and says the L-Threonate is better? I hope they are not just pushing their brand. I will go with the other brand that has less ingredients that LifeExtension that has Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose (capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, silica, vegetable stearate. If I have to look them up to see what they are, I don't want them in my foods.

    Potential Benefits of Taking Multiple Forms
    Combining different forms of magnesium can provide a more comprehensive and balanced nutrient profile. Each form has its own unique characteristics, and using a combination can help ensure you are meeting your specific magnesium needs. For example, someone experiencing constipation may benefit from the use of magnesium oxide alongside a more well-absorbed form like magnesium citrate or glycinate.
    Furthermore, taking multiple forms of magnesium can offer a wider range of health benefits. Magnesium oxide, known for its high elemental magnesium content, can support bone health and aid in maintaining normal blood pressure levels. On the other hand, magnesium citrate is often used for its gentle laxative effect and can help promote regular bowel movements.
    Additionally, combining different forms of magnesium can enhance the overall absorption and utilization of this essential mineral in the body. While some forms may have better absorption rates, others may provide a sustained release of magnesium over a longer period of time. By incorporating various forms, you can optimize the bioavailability and efficacy of magnesium supplementation.

I read research cautions yeas ago about this, and have noticed it myself, but potential for adverse effects of different chemicals transported through skin more than usual raises concerns. I'd carefully read more recent research on this before using it, especially if not done under careful medical oversight.

      We suggest 3 capsules daily, delivering 2000 mg magnesium L-threonate, which can be taken any time, but the morning may be best. 2,000 mg of magnesium L-threonate contains 144 mg of elemental magnesium. The RDA for magnesium for men is 420 mg and 320 mg for women. We generally suggest 500 mg total daily for optimal health, however, it depends on your health goal and magnesium status.
