Product Features

Magnesium is known to support a number of body functions and to contribute to the health of many organs which include the cardiovascular system, bone health, energy production, metabolism and mood. As of recent, research has been focusing on Magnesium’s benefits for cognitive function. Scientists believe Magnesium works to help neurons maintain a state of healthy sustained activity – neither over-stimulated nor under-stimulated, hence maintaining optimum cognitive function.
Magnesium L-Threonate is a salt of L-threonic acid and the only one proven to cross the blood-brain barrier. Hence it increases the quantity of Magnesium received to the brain and speeds up its benefits.
It is also acknowledged the fact that it is difficult for the body to maintain optimal levels of magnesium in the brain and that as magnesium deficiency increases with age. Research is currently in progress to determine if Magnesium L-Threonate has the ability to impact specific age-related mental challenges.
The suggested use of Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate is 3 capsules per day. Consumer reviews report mixed results, While positive review mention a large number of benefits, form improved memory and thinking to relaxing and calming muscles, negative reviews report no side effects whatsoever or even serious side effects such as dizziness, lack of balance, disorientation, sleeplessness and confusion.

Hello:
Would this be safe for a 16 year old? Thank you.
I didn’t realize how much neuromag was helping me until I ran out. After the first week of not having it I realized I was having trouble getting my thoughts together, the brain fog that I had overcome while taking neuromag was back.
Wondering about the dosage…take all 3 pills at one time? Is nighttime better than morning, or does it matter? One pill 3X daily? How long before I should expect to see results from this supplement?
I take it in the morning, all at one time. I’ve not tried taking it at night.
I had no actual noticeable effects in 2 weeks… how much does it last until the results kick in?
i have tried this supplement and it proved to be helpful not only against my lack of energy and motivation, but it also helped me with my dizzyness sensation
