L-Threonate helped me tremendously with panic disorder. Glycinate is also amazing for sleep and relaxation
Hi, l- threonate helped with your panic disorder...did you take the regular dosage ( 3 capsules ) - how long did it take to feel relief from panic/ anxiety? ...thanks so much for help with this in advance..
@@pratikgandhi8168You will start noticing a difference after the first week. I'd take the recommend dose, as Magnesium in high dose has a side effect.
did u find anything??? I need help in the same@@pratikgandhi8168
@@pratikgandhi8168 four people over 40, men require 420 mg and women require 320 mg although you can exceed that by a bit.
I take magnesium L-Threonate in the morning, magnesium citrate in the afternoon and magnesium glycinate at night for a total comes to 420 mg, so that I spread my magnesium intake over the day to minimize possible gastric distress, including diarrhea.
How much glycine do you take for theis effect?
I was likely deficient, from my proton pump inhibitor antacid medication, and taking less than the recommended dosage was no short of life changing. I was experiencing brain fog and energy issues and came across magnesium. I am so glad I decided to try this out. My mood also became more positive and less anxious. I just turned 40, but I feel like I'm in my 20s again. Again, I was likely deficient to begin with so I felt a huge impact day one.
I started taking it and noticed a difference the very first day. Didn't think it was the mg but after a week I knew it was the mg. Wonderful. Much better mood.
My focus-challenged brain loves your shorter videos.
They get to the calculation because elemental Mg in Magnesium L-Threonate is only 7%. Hence 2000mg = 144mg of Mg
Therefore, to get the 420 mg men require over the age of 40, you would need about 6000 mg in order to acquire the elemental value. That is too much magnesium and certainly should be spread out over three times or four times in a day. Taking such large dosages, I was surprised that he didn’t mention large doses of magnesium can cause diarrhea.
What's up Doc! Ok, I recently stumbled across your channel, and after this third video I have a question. L-Threonate +Taurine + "GreenTea" (L-Theanine) for mitigating/managing ADHD and co-morbid issues without using prescribed "medication" (would love to know your take on zapping the brain "tCDS") for daily competence - sorry I lost my thought and don't even know what I'm asking anymore....
I have barlowe's Mag L-Threonate and NOW Mag Glys. Take them both at night before bed, flip flop different nights. Threonate I feel a bit more groggy in the morning. I do dream on both, and at first I loved it. But if ya asked me after a month I'd probably lean towards Glys. I for some reason wake up middle of the night more on Threonate compared to the other as well. I have yet to try Magnesium Taurate, which I will probably buy here when I run out of these two.
I never let myself run out of the GLYS.
Hi, I'm curious if those capsules are spaced evenly throughout the day or all at once?
Magnesium is something everyone should supplement in my opinion. It can take 2-4 months to fully saturate especially if you are deficient and a fair amount of people are.
Do you try different supplement brands? Cause some brands might work better than others. The whole supplement industry isn't that well regulated so some brands might not have what it says on the bottle.
Studies show the degree of improvement is age dependent. Younger people are not going to see huge changes- but older people will see much much more benefit.
Magnesium (Glycerinate) is one of my favorite supplements. I take it before bed and it reduces how much sleep I need by 1-2 hours. I suspect it helps with my memory too - by providing the energy needed to recall information (even though there doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis that it helps with memory).
If I were to take only one type it would be this.
Im gonna try this 100 p . My back pain went away after starting magnesium biglicinate
What about a Mag-Threonate, L-theanine, caffeine stack? 2000 mg, 400 mg, and 200 mg, respectively/day?
I took it too, a low dose before bed. I began to feel like my brain never really shut off. I would have such vivid dreams as if I was always alert in the dreams. Since I felt like I never truly rested, I didn't buy more. It was interesting to have such vivid dreams but I kind of really need sleep as everyone does, so I just stopped. I guess that's my own mistake since I took it before bed not in the morning.
It's not a stimulant so it's either unconnected or a "symptom" of better function. Could consider trying it again when you have a period to adjust to the benefit. Restlessness isn't good, but vivid dreams prove deep and healthy rem sleep.
Take it in the morning
Magnesium glycinate helps with sleeping.
I had same issue 😢!
I think that supplements work differently on different people, and in saying that it's more likely true that you just didn't need that supplement, but try something that helps you relax and enjoy sleep.
Taking Magnesium L-Threonate before bed (even at the lowest dose, 1 capsule) made me have more vivid dreams but also more tired/groggy the next morning. Seen other people report the same experience. Magnesium is known to be a bit hard on the gut, so that might be why.
I would like to know if you thought that you were really deficient in Magnesium L- Threonate in the first place, or if you just wanted to find out if it actually works?
Dr. Legrand I heard L-Threonate worked better on people age 50 and older ?
The problem with this type of testing is that ... the result is subjective. Unless there is an objective measure, it is difficult to distinguish real improvements from what is imagined. This is especially strue of things like memory, creativity, etc.
For example, when I take a supplement that is supposed to improve my lifting strength, I test the supplement against my actual lifting strength - i keep track of the number of reps per exercise. This is an objective measure. I don't simply conclude, "I feel stronger" and assume that the supplement works.
How about an objective memory test administered by another person? Also, that's a decent dose of Mg - any side effects?
Don't l threonate raise progressively magnesium in the brain? With higher result after two months of use, and even more after three? It's not like a phenylethylamine that would boost quick and disappear. It do not participate in the neurotransmitter production, but helps the synaptic function (or prevent its dysfunction). Supposed to be the only magnesium that reach the brain. Might be more important to take it that as we age than while we are young and beautiful like Dr Legrand, his head is still filled with pure magnesium! :)
Typically it takes 8-12 weeks to take full effect
I think it’s great that you’re trying things before recommending or before telling people it’s bogus. I’m tired of social media doctors saying things like “dhea doesn’t work, period” when they haven’t even tried it lol
My mom's retired trauma nurse from a level for trauma center but anyhow I've never seen so many stupid people spend so much money on college and become a doctor and then don't know what they're talking about we know our bodies the best and we know how we're feeling but when you try to explain that to a doctor they tell you you're lying and all kinds of stuff nnooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why doesn't anybody talk about Colloidal Magnesium? Nano sized, passes the blood brain barrier, elemental Magnesium, not some variation. We find Colloidal Magnesium and Magtein (Magnesium L- Threonate) at night, we sleep like babies. Anybody?
Since it's ability of passing blood brain barrier, would it decrease inflammation in brain which is a cause of ocd.
@@ayeshashaikh5155 I have no idea, I'm not a doctor
@VmArthur. I was looking into what you shared. I think you have a point there. Some stated stomach issues but works well. However, I am big on the probiotics and chia seeds, etc, to keep the gut working. I think gut health is important as we take any supplements and or medication. I may switch out magnesium glycine for that one since it has everything I need. Thanks for sharing that. I saw the Pure brand looks good. Which one are you taking?
Sleep 😢
I take it every night and sleep solidly every night.
I’m taking it for a while now, haven’t noticed anything yet. Might try a different brand & dosage. But this sure is not the “limitless” pill.
Try Natural Stacks.
It is only like to feel helpful if you are deficient, of which a very high percentage of people are. The more active, the more likely you are low in magnesium.
@@stephenknight6562what’s that
Magnesium Glycinate works better for me than threonate. Glycinate literally changed my life, I haven't taken stimulant adhd medication for 5 months; I was prescribed Adderall for 14 years. Nature's Bounty Advanced Magnesium Glycinate is the brand I take.
Here’s a tip for everyone, food based magnesium actually crossed bbb significantly better than any form of magnesium 👍
What is the correct dosage
Dr.LeGrand, I do believe you may have sleep issues you need to address , just my opinion 🌞💯
But how much is actually absorbed in the blood and bones?????
Can anyone help. I always become muscle tissue and cramps and headaches when j supplement magnesium. I dont know why and i tried a lot of Magnesium types.
Thank you❤
Bcs u dont need it or try it in the morning
I bought it online and wait 1 week to arrive, in germany we dont have magnesium l threonate.
First day i had like no affect. I took it like 1pm when it arrived.
In the evening before sleep intried anorher one. My sleep was very bad. But i didnt thought it was the magnesium. One day later i tried again in the evening and my sleep got worse like ever. I thought i am in a bad movie everyone says take it before bed??
But with 4-5 hours of sleep i took it in the morning and it was a gamechanger. It was like a stimulant. My head was clear i was in the moment but in the evening i had like a sort of crash.
I will experiment a bit. My body reacts really funny to threonate
Is it alright to take L-Throsine and magnesium L-Threonate together/or same day.
Did it help together?
Gingko biloba is good for memory/recall. However, it works by increasing blood flow to the brain. So those who deal with hypertension have to be careful or avoid it all together
Could cause brain bleeds, yikes !
I'm using magnesium aspartate after i saw massive improvement the first time i used it in February, but I'm I wasn't sure if it was the Magnesium. So now I'm using it again.
You dont require a higher amount a lot of us are workin with a deficit of how much vitamins we have in our bodies. Taking it over a period of time is meant to help balance your levels which is more sustainable rather than taking a large dose and then those levels falling which they will. It's supposed to be a constant level to keep you regulated over a long time rather than one large spike that wont last which is why they say you have to take the supplements for a while to see actual change bc theyre going for longevity
Just finished my first week of this stuff with interesting results. I’ve taken a ton of stuff over the years, but never anything that had such an immediate and profound impact. I started out with half a capsule of this stuff and within minutes I felt like I had finished a pot of Italian espresso. I skipped a day, just to verify the symptoms. However, the half-life of this stuff hangs in there, and it did make me feel more alert, but almost to a fault. I actually welcomed the intestinal affects although the hyperactivity is a bit much. I’m up to one capsule a day. I can appreciate the alertness, but I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to stick with it. It’s difficult to sleep when you’re amped up like this. I think I’m gonna step down to half a capsule again because the benefits to me are a mixed bag. 🤷♂️
Everyone's body will respond differently
You need 400mg of magnesium daily, one capsule is 144mg. It needs to be taken 3 times per day. I have the same Magnesium L-Threonate bottle. For those with memory issues like signs of Alzheimer's they need to take 2000mg per day but always do research and check with your doctor first.
3 capsules of Mag threonate is 144 mg elemental magnesium
3 capsules = 144 mg of magnesium according to the ingredient label.
I went from sleeping 2-4 hours for years to sleeping 6-8 hours in the last 2 years since I tried the threonate
What about Magnesium Taurate?
That is more cardio protective.
Hello doctor... How is magnesium L-thyronate taken in the morning or evening? Is it preferable to take it on an empty stomach or with food?
Hi! I take 2 pills in the morning and in the evening with 2 grams of Vit C, Vit B1(benfotiamine) and Vit B6 (piridoxal-5-phosphate(P-5-P)). It works!!!
@@sergiurusu5316 with food?
Gives me really bad migraines the next day.
I never had ANY new outcomes from Magnesium, Boron, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 mk-7, zinc and creatine.
I just take them now at the minimum to sometimes a bit more than minimum dosages just as a "just make sure I am at optimal levels" I am doing weight training and some light cardio. Never felt any difference from taking them vs not taking them. Some days I am stronger but that's just like normal?!
I have blood pressure of average 170/110 can i take magnesium l threonate
I took this before going to sleep and it made my dreams too vivid and weird. Not sure I want to continue since it makes me a little on edge.
It definitely changed my dreams and I have to admit it's a little spooky I've been dreaming about dead people. but that might be a good thing for my memory because all my friends are dead and gone so who else am I gonna be dreaming about I'm just glad I can remember them. So I'm definitely dredging up memories that have been buried for decades.
I no longer am fearful that it is a forbearing of my coming demise.
I have been having vivid dreams ever since i started taking them
I've tested my theory of L threonate spinach and grains in tandem with Magnesium tablets. My mood has significantly improved. Thanks 👍
The reason you felt an impact after doubling the dosage was not because of the increase in magnesium but the longer term of supplementing it actually takes 1-2 months to have any effect. The MIT study in 2015 indicated 144mg is the ideal dosage and that larger doses do not result in greater effects despite being less than the RDA - the RDA is a guideline for general magnesium INTAKE without regard to the efficiency of the pathway or cellular uptake of the specific type of magnesium. Please read the science. Although the body is good at excreting excess Mg too much is unhealthy and hypermagnesemia is fatal. At a minimum test your serum magnesium prior to supplementing ESPECIALLY if you are young, healthy and eat healthy. Get clearance from your doctor. Also note that serum magnesium levels are not the same as cellular magnesium which is where the deficiency actually matters. If you are older, have certain conditions which limit bioavailability, or live in the third world this is a great supplement.
At some point can you review other supposed nootropics, like Methylene Blue and Nicotine Isolate? I've been hearing good things about both of them, but I'd like to see what the literature says before I dive into them.
Funny enough, antidepressants are the most effective for increasing brain magnesium!
the slight improvemenets can probably just be placebo
The thing I'm most interested in is it's long term ability in degeneration prevention, stuff like dementia.
I sont even care about that. I can sit at my computer for hours now and concentrate on a single task. I feel like I have a new life
Your brain needs cholesterol to function it even produces its own.
It only helps if your magnesium deficit
Not true, other forms of magnesium doesn't cross the blood brain barrier as effectively as L-Threonate
Google says: Magnesium toxicity is rare. However, taking certain magnesium supplements at high doses may cause diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramping. The National Academy of Medicine recommends not exceeding 350 mg of supplemental magnesium per day.
I used it for month and improvement seen but after stoping do you loose that focus .it looks like it makes you dependent
The body didn't receive that when it started to receive it it felt better so it's not that it makes you dependent but the body wants more to feel better
Water and nutrition also make you feel better and you're dependent on it so what's the problem? It's certainly not addictive or habit forming.
Been taking it for a few weeks at 667mg and I think it helped my sinus a bit
How many capsules is that?
@@ericsalinas1839 one.
You shouldn't stop the Magnesium Threonate. Your body needs the Magnesium to assimilate any Vitamin D. You would be doing yourself a disservice. Large part of population is deficient in Vitamin D.
With k2
0:30 "I'm not sure how that calculation works" (?) Wait... Isn't this something significant one should know and can explain when you are a doctor?
I just wanted to point out the Brand of Magnesium L-Threonate the Inventor’s developed is not the Brand you’re taking.
I listened to the Inventor who is a female doctor and head of research at UCLA and her supplement Brand’s Name MAGTEIN.
I realize there are other companies manufacturing this Magnesium supplement but they are not all created equal. I believe if you start taking the supplement the researchers developed you would not need to increase the amount you’re taking on a daily basis. I speak from experience as I’ve been taking the “Magtein” Magnesium L-Threonate supplement according to the instructions on the bottle (2 Capsules per day) for over a month. My sleep has been better than I’d ever hoped for and I actually see improvement with my memory. This in itself is great since I’ve purchased and tried everything on the market with no significant success.
I hope you won’t be offended by my comments.
I seen it as NOW brand is this right ?
@@silverpro8356 …the Brand you should purchase is….MAGTEIN ..Magnesium L-Threonate
Hi
Would you be able to let me know what brand you buy this product in. I'm from Australia. There are other supplies such as NOW selling it. I would like to get the one that you highly recommend please.
@@silverpro8356 The Original Brand developed by the doctor is called MAGTEIN Magnesium L-Threonate. I purchased it through Amazon, I sincerely hope that helps you.

Will this help stroke short term memory?
It can't hurt but look at lions mane.
I think Magnesium and Vitamin D helps with short term memory. Bacopa is effective for memory, but to me it feels like it affects long-term memory more . Lions mane just makes me super curious about everything and I didn’t notice it affecting memory myself.
@@quake2utaking this magnesium now . When it’s finished I’m going to try the lions mane
Sounds like if you wanted to focus you can focus without the magnesium
I took magnesium whaaaa😮 happened to me😵💫
Just kidd n
Those are not capsules
Typical, the cure is to take more!!
careful. there are withdrawal symptoms from Mag L-threonate.
I think its important to remember that optimum health can be best achieved by addressing all aspects of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social aspects of life and not to rely only on supplements.
In an ideal world, this would be what to do! In reality, lots of problems are caused by one's body being deficient in something.
L threonate is found in food......grains cereal dark leaves. Just sayin ' ..... take Mg with dark leaves spinach @ dinner ....or/and Mg with cereal for breakfast. Yah or Nah?
All accurate….but if you have other health problems such as gout, kidney stones etc… No leafy greens
Then comes gluten intolerance and celiac and hypothyroidism….
Rather take supplements
They are tiny.
When people say I noticed a slight improvement in my focus etc etc basically it could be anything causing that. Maybe you slept better the night before. Maybe you have been eating better. Maybe you got laid. Maybe 1000 things or maybe it's just placebo.
You really have no background in nutrition, do you? Your little test was not very well done.

I not gonna use any chemicals penetrating my brain. No matter what someone sais. Nop, Nada. Zitz. Niet! 😊
Works.hrwt for me. Sleep and cognition haven't been great for years. Until I started taking this supplement.
