Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate
Neuro-Mag is the premier choice for cognitive health, utilizing the patented Magtein form specifically designed to cross the blood-brain barrier. It is consistently rated as a top pick by ConsumerLab for meeting label claims.
Quality & Materials
Provides 144mg of elemental magnesium from 2,000mg of Magtein (Magnesium L-Threonate) per 3-capsule serving.
Evidence & Testing
Magtein has been studied in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials showing significant improvements in cognitive age and memory.
Brand Transparency
Life Extension provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every product they sell, which is a rarity in the industry.
Value Assessment
L-Threonate is the most expensive form of magnesium. While the price per gram is high, the specific neurological benefits cannot be replicated by cheaper forms.
Why Not Alternatives?
Generic magnesium forms (citrate, oxide) do not effectively raise brain magnesium levels. Neuro-Mag uses the exact form used in clinical trials for memory and executive function improvements.
