When taking 2000 mg of a magtein magnesium l-threonate supplement why is only 144 mg of Elemental Magnesium derived? What happened to the 2000 mg minus 144 mg of magnesium?ChatGPT replied:The 2000 mg of Magtein (magnesium L-threonate) refers to the total weight of the compound, not just the magnesium content. Magnesium L-threonate is a compound made of magnesium bound to L-threonate, and the 2000 mg includes both the magnesium and the L-threonate components.Here's the breakdown:Elemental Magnesium: This is the actual magnesium content available for the body to use. In the case of magnesium L-threonate, only a small portion of the compound's weight is elemental magnesium. For 2000 mg of magnesium L-threonate, 144 mg is the elemental magnesium content.L-Threonate: The remaining 1856 mg (2000 mg - 144 mg) is the L-threonate portion of the compound. L-threonate is the carrier that allows magnesium to be absorbed by the body, particularly by the brain, which is why this form of magnesium is often used for cognitive benefits.So, the 2000 mg you see on the label is the total weight of the entire compound, not just the magnesium itself. The 144 mg represents the elemental magnesium derived from this compound.

I use a variety of different types of magnesium because they all have different purposes and areas of support. The generic magnesium that used in most calcium magnesium supplements is one that is not really very bio available. So I just get plain calcium and I get a variety of different types of magnesium, and I find that works for me. Helps to stabilize my body and prevents leg and foot cramps.

This is my most important supplement for sleep, and not just because it goes directly to the brain to stop "busy-mind" from keeping me awake. It also prevents muscle cramps wihout causing diarrhea like magnesium citrate does. Ascorbyl palmitate, the only other ingredient besides the capsule, is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C that prevents oxidation and is considered GRAS. It also crosses the blood brain barrier and can be stored for vitamin C/antioxidant as needed, but it has UVB oxidation concerns. That's probably not a concern since the bottle is opaque. I would not take a capsule if I accidentally left it sitting on my kitchen counter under the daylight lights though.

As long as you use as directed this is a superb sleep aid. I like it even better than magnesium glycinate.Some may find that like magnesium citrate, it can cause loose stool, but I don't have that problem with this.

So many brands selling Magtein, and I checked all their labels and Bestvite’s is the purest one! Great product and will repurchase.

Found myself much more 'on the ball mentally'. It was like a fog lifted so I certainly recommend it for anyone who feels they are not keeping up like they used to. I will keep using it.

I’ve only been using this product for two weeks. I’m not able to give a really fair and accurate review in that short period of time. What I can say is that I’m very impressed with the ingredients only 1. Exactly the way it should be.
