Jarrow MagMind Magtein Magnesium L-Threonate, 90 Capsules

I've been taking this magnesium supplement for a few weeks, and I'm very happy with it. The capsules are easy to swallow, gentle on my stomach, and I haven't experienced any digestive discomfort. I especially like that it uses magnesium L-threonate, which is formulated to support brain health and cognitive function. I've noticed I feel more focused during the day and seem to sleep more soundly at night. The bottle offers a good supply, and the quality is what I've come to expect from Jarrow Formulas. If you're looking for a high-quality magnesium supplement, this is definitely worth trying.

I have tried many forms of Magnesium in the past, it’s an essential mineral for the body (regulates over 300 functions). It helps with sleep, blood pressure, cognitive function, mood, muscle cramps, and ATP production (the powerhouse of the cell). Science talk aside, I have tried Magnesium Glycinate and Citrate, and they can do a number on the gut, moving things along too quickly! Magnesium L-threonate has become very popular, but I am very picky about my supplements and the companies that make them. Jarrow Formulas is top notch! I have started looking for supplements that are more “bio-available” as they are better absorbed and used by the body. This supplement does all of the above, without upsetting my gut and making it overactive. I ran out of this supplement a few months ago, money was really tight, and it really affected my sleep, which is priceless! It also has L-threonate, which promotes sleep and positive mood. I am happy to have this back in repertoire, combined with vitamin D once a week (50,000IU), and Calcium Hydroxyapatite (see my other reviews, also super bioavailable). If you are looking for a Magnesium source that helps you sleep and regulate body functions without the side effects on your gut, this is a standout choice that works great!

Highly recommend it works great! Our dr recommended bc we have migraine issues and muscle tightness a lot and the product really does help when taking consistently

I’ve been taking Jarrows Formula brand of Magnesium L-Threonate MagMind for close to 4 years now. I wish I’d found it when going through menopause. I then had a foggy brain and I struggled to focus and multi task. Which my job in sales required. I started with the required 1 capsule in the AM and 2 in the evening before bed. I noticed a difference probably half way into my first bottle. Clearer thinking and I slept better at night. Not a sleeping aid type of sleep. Just a noticeable “I slept” no morning grogginess. I then reduced my dose to just the two in the evening and my brain works as it should. I am 67 years old and I volunteer 2-3 days a week and my brain is keeping me sharp. I’ve also researched Jarrows Formula and this is what I’ve found and I personally feel comfortable with. “Jarrow Formulas is a long-standing, heavily science-backed dietary supplement brand founded in 1977 in Los Angeles, California. The brand is highly regarded by health professionals and consumers for its focus on peer-reviewed clinical research and ingredient bioavailability. Quality and Purity Testing: Jarrow utilizes certified independent, third-party laboratories to rigorously test every batch for identity, potency, and purity. Products are thoroughly audited to ensure they meet strict standards and are free of contaminants like pesticides. Manufacturing Standards: Products are mostly manufactured in the USA in state-of-the-art facilities that adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) mandated by the FDA. Magnesium L-Theonate Scientifically Claims to Reverses Estimated "Brain Age": A prominent claim backed by a 6-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial shows that supplementation with 2 grams daily can result in an estimated 7.5-year reduction in brain cognitive age by improving reaction times and cognitive vitality.I truly believe this 100%. I believe in this so much, my 83 year old healthy walks 3 miles every morning has asked me to order some for him. I’m ordering the 2-90 ct bottles. One to share. There are several types of Magnesium. Do your research on what each type benefits.

I have been using Jarrow Formula supplements for a number of years, especially the Vitamin B12 - methylcobalamin and Vitamin K2 - MK7 supplements. I have been impressed with their continuing development of new *effective* products at a great price point. My husband and I have been taking approximately a gram a day of supplement Magnesium (cheaper products) for almost 5 years now. In that time we have cured his former type 2 diabetes (after almost a 2 decade battle with medicated fasting BGs in the 500s at one point!) and we have almost completely reversed his hypertension of many years as well has have turned his end stage Severe Congestive Heart Failure around so he's relatively free of symptoms. I credit not only the magnesium, but also high doses of Vitamin D (ALWAYS taken with magnesium and fish oil!!), a whole foods source multi, the Sinatra Protocols for supplements as found in the back of The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology and a number of minerals especially trace minerals as found in Liqumins ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops, Low Sodium, 8-Ounce Bottle . I was looking into research on magnesium and the brain when I ran into the MIT study published in 2010 showing magnesium L-threonate is the only form of magnesium to cross the blood-brain barrier and showed observable improvements in cognitive measures. Interesting. So we bought a bottle at our local neighborhood nutrition shop after a discussion with the owner, a couple I have come to trust during our many battles with the medical establishment. Jarrow Formulas of magnesium L-threonate as Magmind is a very cost-effective source. To further economize we are still taking our regular magnesium supplement 3 times a day (750 mg) then taking this form of magnesium as part of our bed time routine (replacing the 4th magnesium of the day). I am genuinely impressed. Our sleep has improved yet another notch, which is saying something since the 5 years of magnesium supplementation meant we already had really good sleep quality. What I have noticed is that after multiple head trauma injuries (including a serious concussion earlier this year) my previously very high level of spatial relations was slipping. Now with Jarrow I feel I'm getting that edge back. I am very impressed. I will update again with further results after we've been taking this formula longer. 2015 UPDATE - in the years since we first tried MagMind I've referred hundreds of people to try this quality supplement with great results. We've since learned to couple magnesium with taurine for even greater results. Taurine is VERY well documented to improve the fluidity of electrolytes within the cells including within the brain. NOVEMBER 2016 UPDATE: Well, here we are 4 years later. We still personally use and recommend MagMind. What we discovered though, since he was put on Armour Thyroid by our primary care he no longer seems to be "leaking" magnesium hence we've cut magnesium supplementation waaayy back. Plus we soak in epsom salts far more. Magnesium is still vital however we're no longer "taking a gram a day."

The big issue with magnesium: we need it, yet for most of us it causes intolerable side effects. ReMag: I started on ReMag (a liquid Mg) years ago. Dr. Dean's book sold me on taking Mg and it's helped. I did try a Mg pill supplement then and sure enough, major abdominal pain. But with ReMag I was able to get off of Rx anti acid reflux medication. Her ReMag liquid worked great without pain. BUT it ended up being more inconvenient than I would ever have realized. It's hard to remember to slowly dose throughout the day (I had timers going) and you can't carry a drink to some places. Even worse, if I missed it, got too much at once, or didn't get enough in EVERY day, my body would let me know in bad ways. Jarrow: Finally Jarrow solved this and I can take magnesium pills without the huge inconveniences mentioned. I decided to try it out and was able to smoothly transfer over to Jarrow without much issue. And absolutely NO side effects like the typical abdominal pain of other products. I cannot recommend this product enough if you're looking for a magnesium supplement without side effects or like me you use ReMag but can't stand the the high maintenance of it. It is helpful to know that if your body is magnesium depleted, starting on Mg may cause weird side effects like an anxiety attack. It's not the fault of the Mg product, it's due to having too little Mg for too long and the body needs time to adjust to getting it. Vitamin D is the same way. And being on anti acid reflux medication results in low Mg & D. Dr. Dean's book thankfully explains all this.

I’ve been taking 30 minutes before bedtime along with a calcium supplement and my sleep tracker shows me getting more sleep and more deep sleep, less restlessness. Waking up twice in a night instead of 3 or 4 times. Not sure it’s helping with my overall flakiness but I don’t get the afternoon sleepiness like I used to.

Quality product. Improved memory and focus. Repurchased.

good

Can see an increase in comprehension and verbal ability in my daughter.

I don't normally write reviews, but I've been using MagMind for a few months now (based on the Huberman Lab pod cast recommendations) and I've seen a very noticeable difference in terms of focus, concentration and even energy in the day (not to mention supporting a better sleep). This Jarrow formula has been great - recommended.
