About magnesium l-threonate
What it is
Magnesium L-threonate was developed to raise magnesium in the brain based on animal research. Because the threonate portion is heavy, a typical daily serving provides a relatively small amount of elemental magnesium.
What the research says
Human studies are few and small. When comparing products, note how little elemental magnesium each serving provides and what that means for cost per 100 mg.
