NOW Foods Magtein™, L-Treonato de Magnesio, 90 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is Magtein™ and how does it work?

Magtein™ is a patented form of magnesium L-threonate, designed to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and increase magnesium levels in the brain. Developed by MIT researchers, this unique compound has been studied for its potential to support memory, learning, and overall cognitive function. Unlike other forms of magnesium, L-threonate binds to a specific transporter that facilitates its entry into the central nervous system.

Each vegetable capsule provides a concentrated dose of magnesium L-threonate, helping to meet the daily requirements of this essential mineral. NOW Foods, with over 50 years of experience in the industry, manufactures this supplement under strict quality controls.

Benefits of magnesium for health

Magnesium is an essential mineral that participates in numerous bodily functions. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), magnesium contributes to:

• The normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Normal energy metabolism.
• Normal psychological function.
• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• The maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
• Normal protein synthesis.
• Electrolyte balance.

Additionally, magnesium L-threonate has been investigated for its role in brain health, although specific health claims for this form are subject to evaluation.

Why choose Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein™)?

Most magnesium supplements contain forms such as citrate, oxide, or glycinate, which have limited bioavailability in the brain. L-threonate is the only form that has been shown in preclinical studies to significantly elevate magnesium levels in cerebrospinal fluid. This makes it a preferred option for those seeking specific cognitive support.

Magtein™ is backed by patents and studies suggesting its ability to improve synaptic plasticity, a key process for memory and learning. NOW Foods offers this ingredient in vegan capsules, gluten-free, and manufactured in facilities with good manufacturing practices.

How to take Magtein™ correctly?

The recommended dose is 3 capsules daily, preferably in divided doses: take 1 capsule in the morning and 2 capsules two hours before bedtime. This regimen optimizes absorption and minimizes possible digestive discomfort. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Consult a healthcare professional before starting this supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

Who is this supplement suitable for?

Magtein™ can be especially useful for students who need concentration, professionals seeking mental clarity, and older adults interested in maintaining cognitive function. It is also an option for those who want additional support for learning and memory in their daily routine.
