Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein)
Momentous utilizes the patented Magtein form of magnesium, specifically designed to cross the blood-brain barrier to improve synapse density and support deep sleep. It is the preferred choice for those focusing on the cognitive and neurological aspects of sleep architecture.
Quality & Materials
Features 2,000mg of Magtein (providing 144mg elemental magnesium). Free from unnecessary stearates and flow agents.
Evidence & Testing
Clinical trials on Magtein show significant improvements in executive function and sleep quality by increasing brain magnesium levels more effectively than other forms.
Brand Transparency
Every batch is third-party tested for purity, potency, and heavy metals. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are accessible upon request.
Value Assessment
This is a premium product with a high price point ($1.50+ per serving), making it a 'performance' choice rather than a budget one.
Why Not Alternatives?
While many brands sell Magtein, Momentous distinguishes itself through rigorous third-party testing (Informed Sport) and a partnership with the Huberman Lab, ensuring the protocol is based on current neurobiological research rather than marketing trends.
