Magnesium L-threonate is a form of magnesium where the mineral is bound to L-threonate. This creates a specific chemical structure that differs from other magnesium compounds such as citrate or bisglycinate.

Magtein® is a patented form of magnesium L-threonate with a standardized composition. This name is used for magnesium L-threonate produced according to a specific manufacturing process.

The difference lies in the substance to which magnesium is bound. With L-threonate, this is a vitamin C derivative, while other forms are bound to, for example, citric acid (citrate) or amino acids (bisglycinate). This creates different structures and applications.

Magnesium occurs in foods such as spinach, kale, almonds, pumpkin seeds, whole grains, and dark chocolate. The amount can vary greatly per product.

Powder is often chosen because it mixes easily with water or other drinks and allows precise adjustment of the intake per serving. It is also convenient for people who prefer not to swallow tablets or capsules.

Magnesium L-threonate is often taken on an empty stomach because it mixes with fewer other nutrients at that moment. This intake timing is commonly used with powder forms and matches how the product is typically used in a daily routine.
