Built for brain and cognitive support, this is magnesium in the one form — **magnesium L-threonate** (Magtein) — shown to raise magnesium levels inside the brain. The label's headline 2,000mg per 3-capsule serving is the full compound; that works out to 144mg of elemental magnesium, sitting comfortably within the 100–400mg supplemental range.
What you're buying is the form, not the milligram count. L-threonate is the only magnesium with research suggesting it meaningfully crosses into the brain, which is why it targets memory and focus rather than sleep or muscle cramps. The honest caveat: human cognitive evidence is limited to a few small trials, so treat the brain benefit as promising rather than proven.
If cognition is your goal, this is the form to reach for. If you just want to top up an everyday magnesium shortfall, 144mg per serving is a partial contribution toward daily needs, not a full day's worth.
