Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate | 90 Capsules | Life Extension

Neuro-Mag by Life Extension

Are you looking for a different form of magnesium than the well-known citrate or bisglycinate? Neuro-Mag by Life Extension contains magnesium L-threonate in the patented form Magtein®. With three vegetarian capsules per day, you get 144 mg of magnesium, which is 38% of the reference intake. The bottle contains 90 capsules, exactly a one-month supply.

What magnesium L-threonate is

Magnesium is never found alone in supplements. It is always bound to another substance, and that partner determines the name. With magnesium citrate, that is citric acid; with bisglycinate, it is the amino acid glycine. With magnesium L-threonate, the partner is L-threonic acid. This is a substance your body produces itself when it breaks down vitamin C. The difference, therefore, lies in the carrier molecule. Magtein® is the brand name of this specific form, developed and patented by the American company ThreoTech. Life Extension uses exactly that raw material, and this is also stated on the label.

Why three capsules per day

Many people wonder why you take three capsules of Neuro-Mag instead of one. The answer lies in the weight of L-threonic acid. It is a relatively large molecule, which means that magnesium makes up only a small part of the total powder. Three capsules contain 2000 mg of magnesium L-threonate, of which 144 mg is pure magnesium. For comparison: with much less powder, you get the same amount of magnesium with magnesium oxide. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. You can take the three capsules at once or spread them throughout the day, whichever works best for you.

Magnesium in your daily diet

Magnesium is naturally found in nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes, and green leafy vegetables. This magnesium supplement provides a fixed amount that is easy to keep track of. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. In addition, it contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Good to know: the 144 mg from Neuro-Mag is in addition to what you already get from your diet, so it is not a replacement for varied eating.

In short: Neuro-Mag is a magnesium supplement for those who consciously choose magnesium L-threonate in the form of Magtein®. The capsules are vegetarian, the product is non-GMO, and the dosage of 144 mg of magnesium per day is clearly stated on the label. Anyone who already knows this form of magnesium knows what they have with Life Extension. A bottle of 90 capsules is a full month, without any calculations.
