Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate, 90 Vegetarian Capsules Ultra-Absorbable Magnesium - Memory, Focus & Overall Cognitive Performance Boost - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free

Incredible

I take this in conjunction with another supplement that I've also found helpful and wrote a review on. I can't speak to its use alone, so I'm sharing the review I wrote for the other supplement: I'm someone who has had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep since I was probably 8. 22 years later now, I've tried many things short of the addictive route to help with sleep. Yoga nidra meditation is helpful, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Hypnosis is helpful, but sometimes my ears get overstimulated from listening. Therapy helped quite a bit, as did getting on a schedule and a strict bedtime routine, but there are still occasional nights where I wake up at 2am, can't get back to sleep, and have to commute over an hour to work, then back in the evening. I also tried a magnesium citrate or glycinate, which helped a lot initially, but then the stress of grad school overrode the positive effects that the magnesium had on my sleep. Fast forward to last when I listened to Dr. Andrew Huberman and he recommended l-theanine and magnesium threonate. I ordered them right away after scouring reviews to be sure I got a good product. I've taken this with the l-theanine every night an hour before bed and it works very well. If you see the screenshot I've attached, Wednesday was the first night I took it and you can see how different my sleep duration was from the previous few nights, and how my duration has stayed consistently high for Thursday and Friday night. I highly recommend this product

I honestly thought this was BS, but it's done wonders for ADHD

This was recommended to me by a friend as a supplement to regular medication for ADHD, and it's been wonderful. I have a lot of trouble with executive function: starting tasks is the hardest thing, and i put stuff off for months. After about 20 days of taking this, i noticed that i just... get up and do things. I have a plan for the day and i get through as much of it as my energy will allow, and i've been sticking with projects for weeks at a time. This is a 180 turnaround from the rest of my life, except on the highest doses of ADHD medication. I've been able to cut down my medication to just a couple of times a week. By the way, a lot of the other reviewers don't seem to understand the ratio of one form of chemical to another. L-threonate is present in a given percentage in an amount of magnesium that has been processed to produce the L-threonate form: isolating it from the rest of the magnesium would be an expensive and unnecessary lab process. If you wanted to eat strawberry seeds, you wouldn't bother separating them from the strawberry first. Therefore, in 3 capsules, there is 2000 mg magnesium, 144mg of which is magnesium l-threonate. THIS IS NOT FILLER. To say it's filler is like saying the water in iced tea is a filler. I have weighed the contents of the capsules i have received across three bottles on a lab scale, and they always come up to about 2000mg per three capsules exactly as indicated. There is an amount of dust inside the bottle, but no more than you would find in any powdered supplement bottle, and all the capsules have always been intact. In short, if you have ADHD i encourage you to try this supplement for 2-3 months. It takes about a month to reach effectiveness, and improvement is noticeable every week from there, or it was for me. I take only the supplements i absolutely need, and along with vitamin D, this has made it onto my permanent lifelong roster

Game Changer!

Be using this suppllment for about 9 months. Has been a game changer for me, period. Take two capsules right before going to bed. One in the AM after breakfast. No joke...I am 57 years old and have not slept this well in at least a decade. Really enhanced deep REM sleep with very vivid but relaxing dreams. I don't wake up anymore I the middle of the night and wake up super refreshed with no fog or "hangover" that you get with over the counter sleep aids. Further, I feel that I am generally more balanced with heightened ability to deal with situations that historically would be stressful, but now art dealt with clarity. I did go off this suppllment for a month to verify if what I experienced was directly due. Sure enough, my sleep deteriorated again to what it was and I generally felt less balanced and ready to take on stresses of family and career. In short, highly recommended

Brain Fog dissipated

Morning of Day 4 the brain fog is gone. After 3 years of the cloud living in my consciousness slowly putting me to sleep, I have taken initiative and made the effort to stop the numbing effects of whatever it is that is slowing me down and not caring. THIS is Working and working fast. I am not a paid or bribed in any way to write a review. I want to raise my hand for all of those who seek a genuine review in a sea of unilateral bribe contracts across google. So far, this is a true product. I will write again for I predict my functioning may get better with continued use. Awesome I recommend Neuro-magðŸŽ

I didn't really believe the reviews or my doctor but…

My functional medicine doctor told me to try this exact product 2x a night. When I was reading the reviews I was laughing because some of them seem dramatic. Being sick of being sick and mentally down, I decided to give this a try. For as long as I can remember, I had vivid dreams every night and don't feel well rested. She told me this may help. Four days in, the vivid dreams were very, very minimal. At exactly two weeks, I started notice a major difference with other things. I am a blood cancer survivor and since chemo, I had pins and needles feeling on my heels. Laying on my back is impossible without feeling as if my heels are on fire. They keep telling me it's neuropathy from chemo. Two weeks in, I woke up on my back. I laid there thinking this is weird.... no burning feeling! It was completely gone. I also have pretty bad adult ADHD which seems to be getting worse with age. This is the same time I realized the hyperactivity SIGNIFICANTLY improved. I used to never be able to sit down at night and just watch tv or "relax". I always have this feeling like I need to do something. Now I can sit and not think about past things or what I need to do tomorrow. I'm in "the now". I also have issues with prioritization. When a lot of people ask me to do something at once and I have a lot of to-do tasks, I start to get overwhelmed. I have constant anxiety from feeling overwhelmed. Well at two weeks, my brain is taking the task or request, using this To Do app, adding it there and prioritizing things. I know this sounds dumb but my whole life I felt overwhelmed with more than a few tasks at a time. Now I don't! Also it appears it helps absorb vitamin D better and some other vitamins based on recent blood tests. Mentally, I feel so different. Chill? Relaxed? I don't even know how to describe it but I like it. Highly highly highly recommend this product

This stuff works for me I'll stop taking it when I die as well.

Last year on a cool spring day, I decided to take my LSAT diagnostic, not good I scored at about the 10th percentile. I wasn't an avid reader and I was competing against kids who had read their whole lives. But I had goals of my own so i didn't give up after my defeat on day 1 instead I persisted. I had my work cut out for me as I saw myself competing against reading demons. Fast forward 4 months into the middle of the summer and I was able to solidly bring my score up to just short of the 90th percentile on the actual test. Solid progress, some people would stop here and be happy, since I had already increased my score from 137 to 162. That's Not me though now I knew I could reach the fantasy score of the 99th percentile, my confidence was the size of Mount Everest as I had momentum on my side. By the end of the summer I was scoring Above the 90th percentile consistently on practice tests and topping out at about the 97th percentile. Now the extras mattered, and that's when I found Neuro Mag. I saw a post by Steven Randell saying he would stop taking it when he died, and I was sold so I bought it. On the October 2019 LSAT I achieved a perfect score on the test. I was shocked but the only variable that changed between the end of the summer and October was that I added neuro mag to my routine. After the test, high conscientious kids like myself go on the Reddit forums to discuss the test, a lot of people complain about a particular section and let their frustrations out. Not me, I was discussing specific details about the test after the test and people were messaging me telling me my memory was “insane” and “crazy”. It says on the bottle improves memory, it worked. The LSAT consisted of 5 35 minute sections at the time (it changed due to COVID). I was able to take a 15-20 minute break on one section and about a 7-10 minute break on the others. I walked out knowing I scored above the 99th percentile. A few weeks later I received a perfect score, then I was accepted into Stanford Law School, and turned it down as I had developed a new passion for Math and Physics. Neuro Mag- I'll stop taking it when I die

This stuff is gold!

Morbidly obese with chronic fatigue and insulin resistance. I bought this to start a positive change in my lifestyle. I divide my dosage in two ( you're supposed to take three pills a day.) In the mornings, I take one magnesium capsule and my vitamin D K2 drops with my morning coffee. At night before dinner, I take two magnesium capsules with two Berberine chromium pills and one potassium pill. I've never had so much mental clarity and focus in my life. It took three weeks for me to feel the effects, and I am now more productive at work and at home. I want to do more because nothing feels like a chore anymore. Regular Magnesium Oxide supplements don't have this effect. This supplement is a total game changer. 10/10 recommend

Don't overthink it, this form is my lifesaver, seriously.

I wrote a review several years ago and am writing again to tell those of you who are reading these reviews trying to decide whether to purchase it. I take it because I have hypomagnesemia, caused by intense max chemo and radiation 39 yrs ago. When the L-threonate form was released I was so hopeful because I knew I wasn't getting the brain help I needed to avoid the damage of the hypomagnesemia as I aged, and the laxative effect of the other forms of magnesium I had to take all these years. I am a medical survival miracle, seriously, going to be 75 and with late stage ovca, was given 5 yr max prognosis. I was a 35 working mom. I haven't had a choice but to be proactive about my responsibilities and provide my body with everything I could to withstand the cancer treatments with "minimal" damage. My brain function showed improvement around 2 weeks and definitely has continued which is hugely awesome!!!! My stomach is totally normal. I recommend taking just 1 in day, the remaining 2 in the evening, so you don't fall asleep at your zoom meetings. This stuff is important for arrhythmia, stress anxiety, insomnia, aging brain, aches, joints. I have transplant and the anti rejection meds can give senior recipients a difficult type of diabetes right away, one day in my case, and not curable. It definitely helps neuropathy. I use Sparkpeople to micromanage, plan and track my food through the day to meet nutritional requirements. It's a challenge to get a minimum of 90g protein daily with a well balanced menu of food groups. Lol, I've been called most proactive patient, miracle case, etc., by top doctors over past 40 years. I did medical library research on my job back then in 1981, exec asst to ivy league medical center dept chairman before we had computers(!). I got hospital chart, photocopied all of it and started reading in the medical library. Stage 3, scary battle ahead for single parent. Wow, my news feed nowadays is more than I can or want to keep with. Amazon keeps me in supplements and art supplies! I rely on it for supplements difficult to get elsewhere. Lately, with slowed deliveries, it's scary if my subscribe and save orders get delayed. Amazon needs to help high risk disabled customers in long term self isolation quarantine by setting up with system supporting their loyalty and reliance

Please do your research before taking any supplements

This supplement is good for people who have anxiety disorders/ADHD. This supplement should never be taken with a multivitamins, stimulants, blood pressure medication or “some” antibiotics. I did a lot of research before I got any vitamin for my son who is diagnosed with ADHD and GAD. My son does not take anything else but Mary Ruth Kids stress beans twice a day. He is 8 and himself said he can feel his wiggles go away and he can think better and focus. So I bought this brand for myself, today is day one I feel like I have less brain fog, more energy and focused on my tasks. I only took two, I will do a second update in a few weeks

If you have depression w/ mild constipation

This is the second or third review I have ever written on Amazon in 10 years. I do not like writing reviews but I think this could really help someone struggling with depression. Ive had mild constipation for 10 years that I just dealt with. I would go #2 every 3-4 days and never really thought about it as abnormal. Anyways, to the point. I have been taking 6 pills in the AM for two weeks and my mood has been oddly positive (I'm use to having some sort of gloomy feeling). I have been going #2 once or twice a DAY and have a lot of SMOOTH and UN-ANXIOUS energy. My voice doesn't tremble and I have a new found confidence. My depression has completely gone away and nothing really bothers me anymore (I have been off anti-depressants for years). If you have depression with constipation this may be your golden ticket for relief. Also, I'm 29 and fit. Hope this helps
