About the product

Description

Magnesium L-threonate (the branded Magtein) is a specific, patented form of magnesium. NOW Foods sets the daily serving at three capsules, which hold 2000 mg of Magtein providing 144 mg of magnesium (38.4 % of the NRV). The elemental magnesium here is lower than in citrate or bisglycinate products, because the L-threonate form is the point. The filler is rice flour, and the formula is made without gluten, soy or milk.

How to use

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Not for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women. Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients. Like other magnesium products, Magtein may at first cause drowsiness, lethargy or headaches. If these persist for more than a week, lower the dose, consult a doctor or stop taking it. If you have a medical condition or take medicines, check with your doctor before use. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended.
