Magnesium L-threonate, the form built for the brain
Most magnesium supplements get picked for sleep, cramps, or digestion. Neuro-Mag is different: it uses Magtein® magnesium L-threonate, a form developed specifically to reach the brain and support cognitive function.* Three capsules a day deliver 144mg of elemental magnesium from 2,000mg of Magtein.

Why magnesium L-threonate (and not another form)
Magnesium comes in several forms, glycinate, citrate, oxide, malate, and they are not interchangeable. Each one is absorbed differently and lands in different tissues. Magtein® was developed because most magnesium does not cross into the brain very well, and L-threonate appears to do that more efficiently. That is why people pick Neuro-Mag for cognitive support, not for muscle cramps or digestion.* If you mainly need magnesium for sleep or cramps, glycinate or citrate are usually the better starting points.
What people use it for
The common reasons are memory, focus, mental clarity, and supporting healthy cognitive aging.* If you are expecting fast results, this category tends to be a slow build over weeks rather than days. Consistency matters more than dose stacking.
How to take it
The label calls for three capsules per day. You can take all three at once or split them across the day, whichever sits better. Magnesium L-threonate is generally easier on the stomach than higher-laxative forms like citrate or oxide, so most people tolerate it on or off an empty stomach. If you are pregnant, nursing, or on medications, check with your doctor first.
It pairs naturally with our wider magnesium range; for help choosing between forms, our guide to the best magnesium supplements compares glycinate, citrate, L-threonate, and the rest.

FAQs About Life Extension Neuro-Mag® Magnesium L-Threonate Capsules
Q: Does Neuro-Mag help with memory and mental clarity? A: Yes, that is the main reason people pick it. It uses Magtein® magnesium L-threonate, providing 144mg of elemental magnesium per 3-capsule serving, and is made for brain and cognitive support more than muscle cramps or digestion.*
Q: How many capsules should I take per day? A: Three capsules daily. You can take them all at once or split them across the day, whichever sits better with you.
Q: Why does Neuro-Mag only have 144mg of magnesium when other products have more? A: The form is the point here, not the total milligrams. You are getting 144mg elemental magnesium from 2,000mg of Magtein® L-threonate, a form developed to reach the brain. People pick it for cognitive support, not as a high-dose magnesium for cramps or sleep.
Q: Should I take it with food? A: It is optional. Magnesium can sit better on a full stomach for some people; if so, take it with a meal or later in the day.
Q: Does this form cause loose stools like other magnesiums? A: Usually not as much. Magnesium L-threonate tends to be gentler on digestion than higher-laxative forms like citrate or oxide, which is why many people stick with it.
Q: How is L-threonate different from glycinate or citrate? A: Each magnesium form is absorbed differently and lands in different tissues. L-threonate was developed for brain support. Glycinate is often picked for sleep and a calming feel, and citrate for regularity. They are tools for different jobs, not interchangeable.
