What is Magnesium L-Threonate?
Magnesium L-threonate is the magnesium salt form of L-threonic acid, also known as Magtein. Internationally renowned biologist Liu Guosong is the inventor of Magnesium L-threonate and the founder of the Magtein brand. The monohydrate form of Magnesium L-threonate has the chemical formula C8H14MgO10·H2O, a molecular weight of 312.52, and CAS number 500304-76-7. It is a more stable form of Magnesium L-threonate, but both have the same final effect. Its primary use is in the production of various dietary supplements.

Benefits of Magnesium L-Threonate
- Magnesium L-threonate is beneficial for mood regulation. Through the regulation of the HPA axis by magnesium ions and the inhibition of stress hormone release, it can soothe the nervous system and reduce anxiety. It is suitable for individuals experiencing high stress, anxiety, or depression.
- Magnesium L-threonate is beneficial for sleep regulation. Magnesium ions can promote the synthesis of GABA, relieve excessive brain excitation, and relax nerves and muscles, thereby improving your sleep quality.
- Magnesium L-threonate is beneficial for brain health，improving cognitive function. It can effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and protect the memory function of the hippocampus, especially for age-related mild cognitive function, and help improve memory, attention, etc.
- Magnesium L-threonate is beneficial for quickly replenishing magnesium ions because it has good biocompatibility and absorption, and can quickly enter the human body to participate in metabolic processes.
Magnesium L-Threonate Supplement
There are various forms of Magnesium L-Threonate supplements on the market: capsules, tablets, oral liquids, gummies, powders, etc.At the same time, Magnesium L-Threonate can be used as a single magnesium supplement or as a multivitamin supplement with magnesium as the main ingredient.Taking Magnesium L-Threonate dietary supplements is mainly to replenish magnesium ions in the body, as magnesium ions are one of the essential elements in the body, participating in the regulation of various life activities, such as helping bone development, energy production and muscle contraction, and are especially important for the brain.Magnesium L-Threonate can also improve cognitive function and sleep quality in Alzheimer’s disease and adult ADHA; and reduce anxiety/depression symptoms.
Side effects of Magnesium L-Threonate
- Magnesium L-Threonateis a safe and well-tolerated magnesium supplement with mild side effects, unless used improperly or in excess, in which case relatively severe side effects may occur.
- The most common side effects of Magnesium L-Threonateare mild gastrointestinal discomfort (such as diarrhea, nausea, etc.) or mild effects on the nervous system (such as drowsiness, headache, etc.).
- Side effects may be related to your dosage. It is recommended that you start with the lowest recommended dose initially and take it with meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. If a higher dose is required, please consult a professional.
- Magnesium L-Threonateis contraindicated in the following groups: patients with renal insufficiency; patients with gastrointestinal diseases; pregnant women and breastfeeding women. Consult a doctor before taking it with other medications to avoid potential interactions.
Magnesium L-threonate VS Magnesium Glycine
Both Magnesium L-threonate and Magnesium Glycine supplement the body with magnesium ions, but they differ in absorption rate, suitable population, and side effects.Magnesium L-threonate leads to a faster increase in blood magnesium levels after supplementation, making it suitable for those who need a rapid increase in magnesium levels in the short term or wish to improve brain function. Magnesium Glycine, on the other hand, has a relatively slower overall absorption rate than Magnesium L-threonate, with a milder effect and fewer side effects, making it more suitable for those who need to improve sleep or relieve anxiety. Furthermore, Magnesium L-threonate can be enhanced with antioxidants (such as vitamin C); Magnesium Glycine can improve metabolism with vitamin B6. In summary, each has its own advantages, and the specific product chosen should be based on individual needs.

There is no direct evidence that regular doses of Magnesium L-threonate cause or worsen hair loss. On the contrary, magnesium supplementation is beneficial to hair health, especially when your hair loss is caused by stress and poor sleep.
No. However, supplementing with Magnesium L-threonate can improve cell and organ function, combat brain aging, and indirectly improve your quality of life.
It cannot be cured, but it can be used as an effective preventative treatment and can also provide relief for some patients in the early stages of an attack.
The biggest difference between Magnesium L-threonate and Magnesium Citrate is that magnesium citrate cannot effectively cross the blood-brain barrier to increase the magnesium content in the brain and therefore cannot effectively improve cognitive function.
About Magnesium L-Threonate
- The dosage of Magnesium L-Threonate needs to be determined according to your purpose of use. Usually, the product label of Magnesium L-Threonate will clearly state the dosage.
