Quick Summary
Essential mineral for sleep, stress, and 300+ enzymatic reactions
Also called: Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium L-Threonate, Magtein, Magnesium
What is Magnesium (Glycinate/L-Threonate)?
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, yet approximately 50% of the US population is deficient. Magnesium glycinate is the best-absorbed form for sleep and stress reduction. Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein) is the only form shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and increase brain magnesium levels, with documented cognitive and memory benefits (Liu et al., 2010). Magnesium deficiency impairs sleep quality, increases cortisol, reduces testosterone, and impairs muscle function.
How It's Made
Magnesium glycinate is magnesium chelated to glycine. Magnesium L-Threonate is magnesium chelated to L-Threonate, developed at MIT for superior CNS penetration.
