MAGNESIUM L-THREONATE 2000 mg – 90 Capsules – Dr Mercola
As you grow older, your body becomes less efficient in absorbing important vitamins and minerals. So, despite a healthy diet rich in fresh organic vegetables, you may still come up short in certain nutrients. One such mineral is magnesium. Experts believe that as many as 80% of Americans don’t get enough. Because there are no reliable lab tests for magnesium, you have no way of knowing where you stand. Fatigue and weakness may be your only clues that you’re low!
Magnesium is essential for building both your bones, DNA and genetic materials. It also supports the body’s normal detoxification process.*
Delivering 2,000 mg of patented Magtein™ magnesium L-threonate, our Magnesium L-Threonate is the preferred form over other types of magnesium for several reasons, including…
Having superior absorption characteristics of any form of magnesium.
Having high-cellular penetration characteristics, allowing it to cross your blood-brain barrier and penetrate cell membranes.*
Significantly reducing GI discomfort –, unlike other forms of magnesium that can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and loose stools, magnesium L-threonate does not act as a laxative.*
Plus, Magnesium L-Threonate does not contain any genetically engineered (GE) ingredients nor does it contain magnesium stearate, a form of magnesium that I don’t recommend.

I get magnesium for migraines and leg cramps. I started reading up and find that the magnesium l-threonate is the most absorbable. I have tried a few other brands but always go back to Dr Mercola’s. It always works and i stopped getting the nightly legs cramps. I recommend buying this product.
Roseann R. –
Feel so much better since starting these. Not so tense. My mind doesn’t replay music in my head ( ear worm i think they call it) for days. Better sleep, calmer through the day.
Marian Byrnes –
Seems to be working well. I will reorder when I run out.

Greatly satisfied. Have made this product part of my daily health routine.
Dan_Bo –
I did not like taking it during the day, but this seems to be the perfect sleep aid. One capsule one hour before bed and I sleep soundly and wake refreshed.
Penny –
I’ve tried several magnesium and by far this is the best, no side effects like I had with other products, used to order thru Mercola but had troubles with their website last time and found this to be much easier
Julie –
Expensive And I need to take 2 pills 2 times a day. It goes quickly but it’s the only brand with out any fillers.
Jessica Fagerstrom –
I have been searching for a magnesium supplement for many years to help reduce my migraines. I gave this one a try, and I can not live without it. I was getting anywhere from 3-6 migraines per month. After taking this particular form of magnesium, I only get one every 2 months on average. I’ve been suffering with migraine w/ aura for about 33 out of my 38 years of life…This is as close to a cure I could ever get!
Curcum –
Love this product. But this is the first time it didn’t have 90 capsules. It looked emptier then normal. I counted. And it was 87. Not impressed.
Regena Simms –
I need a replacement. The jar was broken upon opening.

So in a nuthell, I have an autoimmune illness and I struggle with sleep (falling, staying, quality) and overall fatigue. If you do some research, we are all deficient in magnesium (depleted soil, poor nutrient diet, etc). It’s very clear I need extra magnesium.
I tried a few supplements including Calm but if you have a leaky gut and other gut issues (like most people with autoimmune/chronic illness have) most forms of magnesium are poorly absorbed. I still do magnesium spray (I do it myself) and I think that my skin absorbs it well but it seems to work better when I do it over long periods of time – it’s basically not a “magical pill”. and it does improve my sleep but not in a dramatic way.
I actually got a sample of this brand 1 year ago – I finally gave it a try and it improved my sleep on that very first night! I had 11 tablets left in my trial bottle so I thought I would track the 11 following nights just in case it was a fluke…Well, it wasn’t. My sleep improved a lot – thanks to this supplement so I quickly ordered the same brand and chose Amazon because the quick delivery meant I did not have to wait a week to sleep better. Also if you subscribe, it is a really good price (I usually buy my supplements – I buy a lot- on various websites and this was the best price I could find – even with discounts, offers, etc.)
It is very rare that I notice my need for a supplement so quickly (last one was liposomal glutathione) but it is my belief that this particular form of mg does -as advertized- cross the blood-brain barrier hence the immediate result. One thing of note, I only use a tablet a day (and not three as recommended)! I take it at least one hour before bed. I only take one because I still do magnesium spray and take other vitamins and supplements with additional amounts of mg (but in different forms).
Also, shortly after starting this supplement, I bought a pair of amber glasses (that filters blue light) which helps too but I would say is not as powerful as this form of mg to make me feel sleepy!

Love using this for bowels, sleep and muscle relaxation. I do it to bowel tolerance so I dose 2-3 for myself a 145lb 5’7″ woman. Some people can go up to 4 I believe. I do it occasionally not every night. This is my fav brand and type of magnesium for myself.

Help with my fibromyalgia. Taking 3 pills at night. It also helped with grinding my teeth and calming my nerves.
Aly –
I have an extremely sensitive body. On my first day taking it, I only took two. My anxiety significantly reduced and my heart racing stopped. My stomach, which usually cramps up daily also relaxed. On the other hand, by the evening of the first day, I noticed my neck muscles cramping up. The muscle cramping in my legs and my neck increased on day 2 and day 3 resulting in a very bad headache and pressure in my skull. Now, on day 4, I am having sharp pains throughout my muscles and will not take any more today. I tried taking calcium with the magnesium on day 3 to help reduce the muscle cramping, but that did not completely take it away. I have never taken magnesium that actually cramps up my muscles until this one. The daily serving size of 3 capsules has 2,000 mg of magnesium l-threonate, so maybe it is just too potent for me. I have only taken 2/day, but I’m thinking a 1/4 of a capsule might be sufficient for my body. I love the fact it helped with my sleep and anxiety, but the muscle cramps and the headaches have been very difficult for me to endure.
LindaN –
Doesn’t cause digestive discomfort as other magnesium products do. Just as Dr Mercola says!
Missy Farber –
This form of magnesium has helped me with my arthritis and mood issues.
Amazon Customer –
Tried this product in place of my other Magnesium supplement.
Couldn’t see any difference between the two products.
Ligia Sommers –
Dr Mercola’s products are a little more pricy but the quality is worth it . I trust his products
Marilou –
I’ve tried a lot of different Magnesium but this product is the best. I take 2 at night and my leg spasms and cramping is gone. They are a bit pricy but worth it.

I purchased this product based on the the reviews and its the best magnesium I ever tried. I trust all of Dr Mercola’sIt products.
Diana Arvidson –
Got this because my doctor recommended it for brain fog and muscle pain! It works great!!
Taking Action! –
I cannot say I am sleeping more. It actually seems like I have more energy and so up doing more. I simply cannot believe how this had stopped what was happening to my brain. I was taking another kind on amazon with great reviews, but it didn’t do what this does. I hope it continues. Try this before lexapro or any drug. Try for a month or two.
Carole King –
This has eliminated my severe nocturnal cramps that I get in my thigh, calf, ankle, and foot, often all at the same time. Had tried other products but this quality one does the job. A little pricey, but I’m so grateful to be able to sleep all night without those very painful awakenings. Thanks, Dr. Mercola.
Carole –

Andrea Sagers –
Great product. I’ve tried many different magnesium’s but this one is my favorite brand.
I also like L Threonate the best.
Amazon Customer –
Repeat customer, excellent!!
speckled hen –
Have long trusted and been satisfied with Mercola products and wouldn’t buy any other brand. Doesn’t contain any weird fillers and sugars. Husband takes high blood pressure medication plus a diuretic which attributes to painful leg cramps at night due to the electrolyte loss and imbalance. The magnesium supplements the loss in his body and eliminates the cramps. Magnesium in food is pretty low and the supplements compensate for it. Highly recommended.
UPDATE 10/27/19: Price increase from $35.97 to $86. Better off buying directly from the site.
MJ –
I’ve tried several different magnesium supplements. None of them agreed with me. This product is easy on my GI tract and works to take away spasms and leg cramps. Excellent packaging and speedy delivery. Thanks Dr. Mercola and team
D Tea –
This is the best type of magnesium I have taken and I’ve tried a few. My migraines are super sensitive to any change in my body. I’ve tried some magnesium that triggered my migraines. So far i have had excellent results with mercolas magnesium threonate. I sleep better, wake up refreshed, less inflammatory pain, and so far no migraines. I’ll keep taking it. Also feel less brain fog. I have also been reading mercola articles for years but never spent a dime on his products – now that ive tried I am even more of a mercola fan. Quality and honesty. I like it alot and recommend it to my family and friends.
Bookhandler Press –
This helps me fall asleep more easily. I take one before I go to bed.
Andrea M. –
Great product one more time best if is combinated with vit C liposomal
Kathy –
Have ordered 3x and just noticed the bottle I received isn’t the one shown. Dr Mercola states not to order if it doesn’t states gluten free. No where in his bottle that I have does it say gluten free nor does it have a white cap or show “premium supplement” besides Price keeps going up
