Natural Factors RegenerLife Magnesium L-Threonate - Uniquely formulated for cognitive support in the aging brain. It is made with Magtein, a highly absorbable form of magnesium L-threonate, which has been shown to significantly increase magnesium concentrations in the brain. It has the unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, improving short- and long-term memory in individuals of all ages. It has been shown to reduce the effects of aging on the brain by nine years.

Why people keep reordering it

Highly absorbable forms
Chelated forms your body takes up, instead of oxide that mostly passes through.
Calm and recovery
Supports muscle relaxation, sleep quality and everyday stress resilience.
Gentle on digestion
Formulated to skip the laxative effect of cheaper magnesium.

Best suited to: specifically wants the threonate form for cognition, already gets enough magnesium from food or another supplement, loosens stools easily on other magnesium forms.

What the research supports

667 mg of Magtein magnesium L-threonate per capsule, giving 48 mg of elemental magnesium. At three capsules a day the 90-capsule bottle is a 30-day supply.

Cognition trials use 1.5 to 2 g of magnesium L-threonate a day.

Memory (evidence: limited, from small human trial, animal study)
Magnesium L-threonate is designed to cross into the brain more readily than other magnesium forms. At 1.5 to 2 g a day it improved memory scores in a handful of small trials, mostly funded by the ingredient's maker.
Nerve and muscle (evidence: strong, from mechanistic, human physiology)
Magnesium is required for hundreds of enzyme reactions that let nerves fire and muscles contract and relax normally. This capsule supplies only 48 mg elemental, under half of what an average adult needs in a day.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

Specifically wants the threonate form for cognition
Three capsules deliver 2001 mg of Magtein, the same amount used in the human trials on this ingredient.
Already gets enough magnesium from food or another supplement
The low 144 mg elemental load means it stacks on top of an existing magnesium intake without overshooting.
Loosens stools easily on other magnesium forms
144 mg of elemental magnesium a day is a small enough load that the laxative effect of citrate or oxide is unlikely to show up.

Look elsewhere if

Anyone taking magnesium for cramps or sleep
Magnesium bisglycinate or citrate at 200 to 400 mg elemental gives you two to three times the magnesium for a fraction of the cost per milligram.
Someone correcting a low overall magnesium intake
144 mg a day does not close that gap. A plain magnesium citrate or bisglycinate is the right tool for total intake.
Wanting a once-daily capsule
The studied dose here is three capsules spread through the day, so a single-capsule magnesium in another form is the simpler option.

What to expect

The label asks for at least six weeks, and that is honest: the trials on this form measured cognitive outcomes over 12 weeks. Nothing about it is felt day to day. On the plus side, at 144 mg of elemental magnesium the loose stools that come with higher-dose citrate are not part of the picture.

How it compares

Compared with magnesium bisglycinate
L-threonate is the only magnesium form with published human trials aimed at cognitive function, and the threonate carrier is the reason those trials were run on it rather than on a cheaper salt. The tradeoff: You get 48 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule against 100 mg or more from a typical bisglycinate, you take three capsules instead of one or two, and the cost per milligram of magnesium is several times higher.
