Magtein Magnesium L-Threonate Supplement – 2000 Mg L-Threonate Magnesium Supplement for Sleep, Calm, Memory, & Brain Fog – Non-GMO Magtein – 120 Vegetarian Capsules by Nature's Trove

My doctor suggested Magnesium Gluconate to help me sleep. I have experienced improvement in falling asleep faster since starting to take this before bed. I like that you only need to take one capsule. Good product, decent price.

Third time I have ordered this. Delivered on time. I will continue to use this.

Helps with focus and sleep

I like that it is more absorbable and affordable, and it works. It helps with pain and memory.

I feel noticeably better and healthier overall when I supplement with magnesium so I take it often or daily. This version works great because it isn't horse pill-sized, with no odd flavors, aftertaste, smell, or negative side effects to note. Made in the USA is always a plus as well.8/10 I would recommend it. I hope this review is helpful.

Why take multiple Magnesium supplements?: I take both Mag Threonate & Taurate. The 144mg supplied by this (and most other Mag Threonate supplements) only supplies 34% of the RDA (and from everything I've read the RDA is low). So, unless you eat a lot of foods containing Magnesium to get the optimum amount you'll need more than just the Threonate (which IMO is primary, as it is the one that most easily crosses the blood/brain barrier). Many of the other Mags would work for the rest since most are easily absorbed by the rest of the body. I use Mag Taurate since the taurine it is bound to has a calming effect (ie if I take it with the second cup of coffee it completely prevents the jitters).About Nature's Trove (this brand): Have been taking their Theanine and SAMe (and like both, and the SAMe cost less & works as well as the brand I was taking).Cost: Prices change so you will need to compare. I think for the most part Magtein (the brand of Magnesium you want to take, and the brand included by most of the well known Threonate providers) is Magtein. Nature's Trove is currently costs little less than the one I was taking (with the exact same 144mg of elemental magnesium from 2000mg of Magein).

Of all the types of magnesium available, my doc wants me taking magtein and at this dosage, so I decided to try this brand. The label indicates they are made in the USA in a GMP facility, and that these are true Magtein. So far these have been as good as any other Magtein I've tried, and the price is inline with other brands. When you find something that works, you want to stick with it, and this seems good to me.
