Three weeks in and it's become a real part of my evening wind-down. Two capsules with water before bed. It's the first magnesium I've actually stuck with, and I like that it's a form that absorbs well.
I've tried a few magnesiums over the years. This is the one that actually fit my routine · easy to take, gentle on my stomach, and I feel good knowing it's a well-absorbed form.
I'd taken glycinate for a while and wanted to try L-threonate instead. I take it in the evening with water · simple, no fuss, and it's become a habit I keep. Glad I made the switch.

How this form of magnesium works.
A chelated, highly absorbable form of magnesium. Here's how the body absorbs and uses it, in three steps.
Different forms of magnesium are absorbed differently. L-threonate is a chelated form studied for its absorption and bioavailability.
Slutsky et al. · Neuron · MIT · 2010
During deep sleep, the brain runs a waste-clearance process called the glymphatic system. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.
