Magtein® (magnesium L-threonate) Facts
Magtein® magnesium L-threonate is a specialized form of magnesium bound to L-threonic acid. It is a clinically tested highly bioavailable form of magnesium known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to support cognitive function and improve sleep quality. Like other forms of magnesium, it contributes to hundreds of enzymatic processes in the body, including those related to nerve signaling and muscle function.
Key Benefits of Magtein® (magnesium L-threonate):
- Supports cognitive function by promoting healthy brain signaling pathways
- Promotes relaxation and a calm mood, making it a supportive nutrient during times of mental stress
- Helps maintain healthy nerve and muscle function
Why it Matters:
Despite magnesium being an essential mineral for overall health, it's estimated that nearly 50% of US adults do not meet their daily magnesium needs from diet alone ¹.
Factors such as stress, intense physical activity, poor dietary intake, and age-related changes in absorption can increase the body's need for magnesium ²,³.
The processing and refining of food can deplete magnesium content by up to 80-90% ⁴.
