❤ Magnesium L-threonate, for brain health, brain fog and Alheimers, dementia, emproving brain health. Cancer pain. Anxiety, migraine headaches. Cognitive ability. Thank you
❤ thank you so much I'll go back and watch the video later having these stated quickly so that I can go to the store to get it immediately truly appreciate your comment. Blissful🎉❤❤❤❤
I've been taking magnesium glycinate for 6 months and it's helped dial down my chronic anxiety ALOT. Also I can now sleep so deeply without having to wake up several times per night before I began taking magnesium glycinate. I hope this helps someone.
@@charlotteknutsen7262 I’ve suffered with anxiety for 34 years, I started taking magnesium 2 years ago and it’s helped my anxiety go away!! I wish 34 years ago someone would have told me about magnesium glycinate because I’ve suffered so much with anxiety to the point that I stopped driving for over 5 years! I started driving again 2 1/2 years ago and I just recently started driving on the freeway again!! Everyone I encounter that tells me that they have anxiety I’m so happy to tell them about my experience and I tell them to get magnesium that it’s life changing!
Yes totally agree with the glycinate sleep better brain is better I'm going to look into this one as well where to order locally thank you for your comment much more blissfulness to you❤❤❤❤
Great share, Dr. Clayton! I've heard a number of vlogs and podcasts recently about how deficient we all are in Magnesium, so I thank you for adding L-Threonate to the discussion!! Many thanks for the time it took putting this information together! We really appreciate you dearly here!! 🙏
@@drdaveclayton thank you Dr. I’m 60 with brain fog and I’m so afraid because my grandmother and mother had Alzheimer’s I eat very clean and I don’t use meds but I’m still having brain fog I am going to buy Lthreonate magnesium but there’s anything else I can do? Love your video and my first time seeing you God bless you 🙏
@@marciasitonio409 late to the comments, but 2000mg of l-threonate for 30 days by nootropics depot -that lists testing results of each ingredient -*-important-* on amzon is $42. I first drink silica water to REMOVE ALUMINUM! Very important. This mag may nit be suitable for big alcohol users. $42 a month for one supplement. Ouch.
i chose glycinate . bc getting cramps in my leg and many recommend it being a very helpful type . although luckily it was only now and again and even while asleep and the pain was so severe and it woke me up . do you take both g and m daily and maybe l-t too . wont it be too much and too many different types daily and they may not interact well ?
I was looking for a video explaining the benefits of MgLT and listened to Dr. Clayton's thoughts. I don't leave many comments on RUclips, but I had to leave one today! I was blown away by the amount of clear evidence and research for supporting MgLT and the combination of lecture and captions to help me learn along the way. I was so impressed by the content that I subscribed to Dr. Clayton's YT channel. Dr. Clayton, well done, sir! If all your videos are this thorough and you're putting out this kind of beneficial content, you've earned my following indeed! I'm so fired up about taking MgLT and look forward to seeing even better benefits in the next three months (I'm currently 48 and want to keep my brain and neurotransmitters as healthy as possible). Grateful to have found your video today, and God bless!
I have been using Magnesium L-threonate for nearly 10 years, at about 1,500 mg per day (2 tablets), but here he says an ideal amount would be about 2,000 mg, so I need to start taking three a day though not all at the same time. I am a senior-plus person with still a normal brain, so I need to keep L-threonate in my supplements list.
Was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia but suffered from it all my life. The meds my doctor prescribed creates dependency and have some serious side effects which I decided not to take. What I started taking instead is Magnesium L-Threonate since it heals pain and brain fog that's all I really need. Thank you doctor for sharing the benefits of this wonderful magnesium.
@@veronical3135 i really hope you caught it early. Because it gets worse if you don’t. PLEASE READ TO THE END. I KNOW ITS LONG. SORRY. I am not here to throw family under the bus but 1) ALWAYS go to bed EARLY. You, as a person with Fibro, need a ton of sleep. Yoga won’t help you. Only REM dreaming sleep will. Otherwise your Fibromyalgia gets worse sadly. I’m not a doctor but almost became a psychologist a long time ago. The point is I was able figure out that fibromyalgia pain has stages JUST LIKE CANCER. My mom has what I’d call Stage 4 pain. Then again it might only be Stage 3. I don’t want to know what Stage 4 is if that’s true. No matter what meds she takes it’s not quite enough. She takes a pretty close to a boatload of meds and supplements TWICE a day. And takes opioids several times a day to fend off the paralysis of overwhelming pain. She’s an expert on it but found stuff too late. Even if you did get it early, find a good TMS brain stimulation program near you and at least find a good pain doctor who can give you any pain meds if you need it. And consider vagus nerve stimulation too. It deals with the high anxiety and almost pre-pain you get from not sleeping or too much stress or both. Hope this is helpful to you.
Really appreciate your work i noticed lowered anciety and clarity within 12 hrs really struggling with blood pressure and watched your vid 3x potassium thanks heaps
I appreciate the thorough data and research supported presentation. Your video presents with very helpful content. I am on my way to get this and will report outcome. I have been taking Magnesium but will startMagnesium L- threonate.

Hey Doc, just started Bisglycinate. Great for sleep but your post is exciting! I've tried 2 other mag. But 1 caused a BAD tummy & the other caused what felt like a heart attack!

Go to an orthomolecular doctor. From Quara: An orthomolecular doctor specializes in orthomolecular medicine, which focuses on the optimal molecular environment for the body to maintain health and prevent disease.

Thank you Doctor for your video ❣️🌟 I’ve been taking L threonate from Kappa Nutrition lately (mainly because it doesn’t have magnesium stearate in it) but now I realize I should up the dosage. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s and it was ugly for her.
Thank You for this information which I will share with friends. I started taking magnesium following a video that I watched over seven years ago. In the beginning, apart from the numerous functions that magnesium performs in the body, my main reason for taking it was to help with my bone health as I have osteoporosis. I later discovered magnesium L-threonate about two years later and started to take these as I was experiencing some minor brain fog and as my dad was diagnosed with alzheimers, I did not want to bury my head in the sand. I now combine magnesium glycinate with magnesium L-threonate with a total dose of about 2000 mgs a day. I noticed that gradually the brain fog has diminished. My reason for the combination approach was due to the fact that I was focusing on bone health, as well as brain health and I am aware that L-threonate is excellent for brain health, but I was unsure if it has the same impact on bone health. In this regard I would be happy to hear your views on the combination approach.
This is really great info. I always wonder which magnesium is best for aging and brain health and this video really helped so much. Thank you so much for presenting all this data😊
Dear Dr. Clayton I have been taking Mg- Glycinate and is really good for me, as I came across your channel and watching your videos and subscribed. How can I trust the website ( on Amazon as well ) what they are offering.? ( I’ve bought something from Amazon it was not what it said to be) Please if you have known who’s you can trustworthy, Please share, much appreciated, thanks in advance. God bless you and your family.🙏❤️
I have MS and I was really excited when I saw this video and I purchased the magnesium L Threeonate. Within a day or two I started sweating profusely in the house and I stayed on it for two weeks and it continued to do that. I looked it up and it says that especially this formulation can do that to you so I took myself off of it. Sad to say.
Doctor! I am a 60 YOW and yes, when I fully mineralized my brain function is sharp. I just use Citrate not Threonate. It’s been 5 years since my husband and I have been taking between 350 to 700 mg of Mag Citrate. No leg cramps, no pains, and great and improving brain function. ….I describe it as I think more logically. I also read a lot, teach myself new things. We also take a very good omega, D3, k2, and collagen. I tried Threonate and did not see any great improvements.I might try it again. You provided some very good convincing evidence. Maybe I can get even better results!!
HI DOCTOR,could I ask if magnesium is good for a brain anuersym? I have a small 2mm and want to prevent High blood pressure .I have pulsatile tinnitus also.
@@suewagner4555 I wish you had a reply, mine is 4mm I also have tinnitus. I do take the magnesium gliconate, have not heard of any contraindication. I was considering the L threonate though.
2000 mg of Magnesium L-Threonate is close to 140 mg of elemental magnesium due to its low absorption of about 7% for most people. Because of this I don't see a problem with taking three times that amount, or 6 grams a day, if this is the only magnesium you get. What I do is use 4 grams a day (280 mg of elemental) of L-Threonate and add another form of magnesium to get the rest I need but only do this because of the expense of Mag. L-Threonate being so high as a MIT patented substance. Perhaps 280 mg of elemental from L-Threonate is a waste, I just don't know, maybe only half that is enough if you add another form of magnesium which is much less expensive. At 66 years of age I have found a marked improvement of cognitive function including memory after a couple of weeks taking it but some report taking 6 weeks to see positive results.
Thank you Dr Clayton. I’m gonna go home and check which magnesium I’ve been taking as a supplement. I def prefer the one with the best results - - long term. Very informative video❤
I stopped taking my CALM magnesium, because my blood pressure went too low. Don’t think magnesium is good for people with low blood pressure. What do you think Doc ?
@@CT-ob2bweverybody's different. it may take your body longer. just start using it. different types of magnesium take time to crossthe blood-brain barrier on a daily basis. I would give it at least 2 months or a full bottles worth of taking the pills before you decide if it's not working. no matter what you definitely want play magnesium that's going to cross the blood-brain barrier
Helps me sleep. I haven't noticed any pain or anxiety benefits. But the sleep helps with both of those so even if it doesn't help directly then indirectly certainly. only been taking it for about two weeks though.
If I take the form of magnesium for a specific health issue, and THEN want to take a SECOND form of magnesium for another specific health issue…….maxing out on each of the two the amount I need to take……have I overloaded on the two together causing toxicity ? Please, this is important to me ! Thank you.
The capsules of magnesium glycinate that I take are 665 mg but the label says this delivers 120 mg of magnesium. I assume that the same kind of relationship holds with magnesium L-threonate, so 2000 mg of mgLT has just a fraction of that mass in elemental magnesium. The RDA is based on elemental magnesium, I think, so my 650 mg capsules reached only a fraction of the RDA.
I’m glad I heard your topic about magnesium. I started taking this type of magnesium lately and it really help to keep me focus on my day to day schedule. Plus I sleep well at night. Glad I found your video today. Thank you.
Dr Clayton, I just came across this video today, thank you for the excellent information provided. Please could you clarify how much of MgL- threonate one has to take to get 2000mg of Mg that is required. From my research into what is available in the market I found that 2000mg of MgL-threonate will only give 144g of Mg, this is very low and one would need to take about 10 capsules of MgL-threonate to get 1440mg of Mg. Please clarify. Thanks.
I tried magnesium before for general health, but it dangerously lowered my blood pressure so I stopped taking it. I don’t remember exactly which magnesium, but it wasn’t anything special, I just picked up whatever was at the store - run of the mill magnesium.
Thank you for this such important information which, though somewhat technical, is quite comprehensive. This news is very new to me and most surprising since we are told by doctors that brain decline is irreversible, let alone Alzheimer’s. Thus, I have a few questions and hope you kindly find the time to to be enlighten me. What to do when someone has been diagnosed and medicated for Alzheimer’s for many years? Should our magnesium levels be tested before we start taking it? You mention that once we start taking magnesium we should not stop it, but is there a risk of having excessive levels of magnesium that can be harmful? Do you recommend a kind of supplement that combines the several types of magnesium for multiple symptoms (cognitive and physical)? Thank you in advance! I look forward to learning more with you as the content of your videos is so important and explained in such an excellent manner.
Do protton pump inhibitors block the absorpsioon of magnesium? If so, would double the dose be a good idea? Also, can we take several types of magnesiums at the same time. I also to take citrate and glycol.
Hello sir, if u could prescribe a good quality model Magnesium for bran as u r talking about brain which is great must to keep our general hlth very active,young,powerful as well hs
I’ve been taking magnesium glycinate for over a year.. recently upped my dose to 400 mg in evening to (please!!!) help with disruption of sleep. I have the dreaded 1am or 3am “ let’s think about lots of stuff and go over every song lyric you heard today” issue. Maddening! Would threonate be better for this? I feel the glycinate helps a lot, and I have had some good nights since upping my dose, but it’s still an issue -like last night. Of course, the brain benefits do seem tempting to try-so do you give up one for the other or use both? Also, the expense would be more, for sure. On retirement fixed income is no joke! Thank you for this wonderful video with excellent research. Such a blessing to have this information.
@@Barb6106 Avoid Magnesium before bedtime, it is a myth that it helps to sleep better. It is much more beneficial to use Magnesium during day time. Give it a try! Potassium is best mineral before bedtime. I use it as a powder mixed in water and it is fantastic for my sleep and muscle recovery from the hard workday or sport.
Glycinate is better for sleep. Threonate is better for the brain. I take mag Glycinate before bed and mag Threonate in the morning. Find what works for you.
Take both. Magnesium Glycinate is best taken in 2 doses morning and afternoon before 3pm. After 3 it could cause sleep problems. Take L-Threonate in evening after six or before bed. Foods today don’t give enough magnesium absorption at the cellular level. Blood serum checks are meaningless. Eat plenty of animal based fats, e.g. grass fed ribeye steaks, liver, heart, pasture raised eggs with yolks being the best part, grass fed butter, grass fed raw milk and cream. Cook with tallow, lard, or ghee. Use coconut, olive and avocado oils as dressings without heating to higher than 200F. Be diligent to rid of seed oils from your diet, e.g. canola, soy, cottonseed, corn, etc. seed oils are in almost every processed product including breads. Eliminating seed oils will do wonders for overall health but it will take years to rid them from your body.
Are you shitting me? Look at those data points! Unbelievable. If there is a person who watches this video and doesn’t go out and buy some magnesium threonate immediately…. What’s your deal? What a fantastic video. What a public service.
I take magnesium L-Threonate by Vitamin Shop. I had been on Citalopram for years and couldn’t get off of it until I started taking this form of magnesium. This leads me to question if my depression/anxiety was due to a deficit of magnesium to begin with.
Make a point of at least 2 black bean burritos per week plus at least a meal with large amount of fresh spinach and also a meal of potatoes with skin on as good or better than synthetic version?!?!?
Hi, thank you very much for the information. I'm not sure if this is something you provide, the name brand best suited? I truly need your help with this, there are so many brands and know not all are created equal. Can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you, again for your information and help! ;)

2000 mg of Magnesium L-Threonate is close to 140 mg of elemental magnesium due to its low absorption of about 7% for most people. Because of this I don't see a problem with taking three times that amount, or 6 grams a day, if this is the only magnesium you get. What I do is use 4 grams a day (280 mg of elemental) of L-Threonate and add another form of magnesium to get the rest I need but only do this because of the expense of Mag. L-Threonate being so high as a MIT patented substance. Perhaps 280 mg of elemental from L-Threonate is a waste, I just don't know, maybe only half that is enough if you add another form of magnesium which is much less expensive.
At 66 years of age I have found a marked improvement of cognitive function including memory after a couple of weeks taking it but some report taking 6 weeks to see positive results.
@@laserhobbyist9751 I absolutely agree - I am 68 and noticed an improvement after about 6 weeks 🎉
Thank you Dr Clayton. I’m gonna go home and check which magnesium I’ve been taking as a supplement. I def prefer the one with the best results - - long term. Very informative video❤
Excellent!
Is it safe to take both Magnesium Glycinate and L-Threonate?
So many types of vitamins we don't know what to buy?
Hello sir,I am on blood thinners medicine can I take this magnesium . Thank you 🙏
I stopped taking my CALM magnesium, because my blood pressure went too low. Don’t think magnesium is good for people with low blood pressure. What do you think Doc ?
Magnesium glycinate also travels across the the blood brain barrier. So I read.
Yea that’s what I take (just started) so how effective is it for brain health? Any thoughts?
I would definitely take magnesium L Threonate because it was formulated specifically for the brain@@CT-ob2bw
@@CT-ob2bweverybody's different. it may take your body longer. just start using it. different types of magnesium take time to crossthe blood-brain barrier on a daily basis. I would give it at least 2 months or a full bottles worth of taking the pills before you decide if it's not working. no matter what you definitely want play magnesium that's going to cross the blood-brain barrier
So does ALUMINUM that CAUSES dementia😢
Dammm doc ur the only I can say describing magnesium pros and cons. I've seen other videos but ur spot on thank you 🙏
Thank you for the comment and watching. Appreciate your support!
Helps me sleep. I haven't noticed any pain or anxiety benefits. But the sleep helps with both of those so even if it doesn't help directly then indirectly certainly. only been taking it for about two weeks though.
A great information video on this topic. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I lve your chennel because very sober and well informative.
I appreciate that!
If I take the form of magnesium for a specific health issue, and THEN want to take a SECOND form of magnesium for another specific health issue…….maxing out on each of the two the amount I need to take……have I overloaded on the two together causing toxicity ? Please, this is important to me ! Thank you.
Will this magnesium help reduce my knee pain
Thank you Dr! Fascinating!! God bless you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does this magnesium need to be taken with Vitamin K2?
I take all the good magnesium types every day😃 also giving my kids!😃🙌🏻
The capsules of magnesium glycinate that I take are 665 mg but the label says this delivers 120 mg of magnesium. I assume that the same kind of relationship holds with magnesium L-threonate, so 2000 mg of mgLT has just a fraction of that mass in elemental magnesium. The RDA is based on elemental magnesium, I think, so my 650 mg capsules reached only a fraction of the RDA.
@@tadmarshall2739 I had the same question.
Great!! I’m taking this magnesium L-Threonate. Thank you…❤
Wonderful to hear, please share how your journey goes. Appreciate the comment!
Which brand? Thanks 🙏
Please link for Dr. Bredesen study on dementia 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much 😊
When is the best time to take this. Does this type make one sleepy?
You can try taking it late afternoon or 2 hours before bed. Thanks for watching.
I’m glad I heard your topic about magnesium. I started taking this type of magnesium lately and it really help to keep me focus on my day to day schedule. Plus I sleep well at night. Glad I found your video today. Thank you.
Very usefull information. Thanks.
❤ thank you, did not know what I did not know.
You are so welcome!
Hope this won't give loose intestines for my husbant. Malate style made him
Thanks From London,

Luv how you explained thing in the video
Would like to know, How about Magnesium glycinate?
@@BG-eh6be What is Mg Glycinate good for?
@@venitajohnson2198 brain health
Thank you Dr. Great information❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Doc, what a good video!
Thank you!
Magnesium citrate is ok if one has digestion issues as to constipation. Take sparingly. It can have a laxative effect.
great video 💗💗💗
Dr Clayton, I just came across this video today, thank you for the excellent information provided.
Please could you clarify how much of MgL- threonate one has to take to get 2000mg of Mg that is required. From my research into what is available in the market I found that 2000mg of MgL-threonate will only give 144g of Mg, this is very low and one would need to take about 10 capsules of MgL-threonate to get 1440mg of Mg. Please clarify. Thanks.
What’s the dosage recommended?
Plus to absorb other vitamins, nutrients Etc magnesium is needed to absorb these things in the body great great video an education. ❤❤❤❤
What is a good brand of magnesium that is easily available over the counter at pharmacies. Thank you
I tried magnesium before for general health, but it dangerously lowered my blood pressure so I stopped taking it. I don’t remember exactly which magnesium, but it wasn’t anything special, I just picked up whatever was at the store - run of the mill magnesium.
Thank you for this such important information which, though somewhat technical, is quite comprehensive.
This news is very new to me and most surprising since we are told by doctors that brain decline is irreversible, let alone Alzheimer’s. Thus, I have a few questions and hope you kindly find the time to to be enlighten me.
What to do when someone has been diagnosed and medicated for Alzheimer’s for many years?
Should our magnesium levels be tested before we start taking it?
You mention that once we start taking magnesium we should not stop it, but is there a risk of having excessive levels of magnesium that can be harmful?
Do you recommend a kind of supplement that combines the several types of magnesium for multiple symptoms (cognitive and physical)?
Thank you in advance! I look forward to learning more with you as the content of your videos is so important and explained in such an excellent manner.
Great video- I've used magnesium in the past and it has helped, but I'm excited to try the magnesium L-threonate. Thanks, doctor!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Eating a variety of foods ensures that the body gets all the essential nutrients needed for good health.
Not really, considering the quality of todays food…
Do protton pump inhibitors block the absorpsioon of magnesium? If so, would double the dose be a good idea? Also, can we take several types of magnesiums at the same time. I also to take citrate and glycol.
Proton pump inhibitors used long term can lead to dementia.
Thank you for your advice
You're welcome
Wonderful Doc!
Better to take morning or night please? HI FROM OZ👋
Not sure if timing is all that important - great question though!
@@drdaveclayton heard night is better for absorption..🤷♀️

Thank for your generosity in sharing such important info🌺
Happy to do so, thank you for your comment.
My mum’s 89 would like to try it thank you from Greece are there any side affects from continuous use?
Thanks Dr Clayton
Once again, thank you
When is the best time to take it?
What the time to take magnesium thx.
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
great video! can you say me which is the best time to take it?
30 to 60 minutes before bed
Which food sources contain Magnesium L-threonate? Food sources is preferable to supplements.
I’ve been taking magnesium glycinate for over a year.. recently upped my dose to 400 mg in evening to (please!!!) help with disruption of sleep. I have the dreaded 1am or 3am “ let’s think about lots of stuff and go over every song lyric you heard today” issue. Maddening! Would threonate be better for this? I feel the glycinate helps a lot, and I have had some good nights since upping my dose, but it’s still an issue -like last night. Of course, the brain benefits do seem tempting to try-so do you give up one for the other or use both? Also, the expense would be more, for sure. On retirement fixed income is no joke!
Thank you for this wonderful video with excellent research. Such a blessing to have this information.
@@Barb6106 MG LT = Źzzzzzzzzzzzzz through the night. Three capsules, 1 am, 1 noon, 1 evening. It has worked wonders. Best wishes.
@@Barb6106
Avoid Magnesium before bedtime, it is a myth that it helps to sleep better. It is much more beneficial to use Magnesium during day time.
Give it a try!
Potassium is best mineral before bedtime. I use it as a powder mixed in water and it is fantastic for my sleep and muscle recovery from the hard workday or sport.
Glycinate is better for sleep. Threonate is better for the brain. I take mag Glycinate before bed and mag Threonate in the morning. Find what works for you.
@@larryc1616 thanks.. I did read that later. Since upping the dose, it took a few days but has helped immensely with sleep quality and quantity!
Take both. Magnesium Glycinate is best taken in 2 doses morning and afternoon before 3pm. After 3 it could cause sleep problems. Take L-Threonate in evening after six or before bed.
Foods today don’t give enough magnesium absorption at the cellular level. Blood serum checks are meaningless. Eat plenty of animal based fats, e.g. grass fed ribeye steaks, liver, heart, pasture raised eggs with yolks being the best part, grass fed butter, grass fed raw milk and cream. Cook with tallow, lard, or ghee. Use coconut, olive and avocado oils as dressings without heating to higher than 200F. Be diligent to rid of seed oils from your diet, e.g. canola, soy, cottonseed, corn, etc. seed oils are in almost every processed product including breads. Eliminating seed oils will do wonders for overall health but it will take years to rid them from your body.
In addition You may need some small supplement amount of VitaminC for the MgThr to be effective -if Yiu are not getting it elsewise.
Can it be combined with magnesium clycinate?
Are you shitting me? Look at those data points! Unbelievable. If there is a person who watches this video and doesn’t go out and buy some magnesium threonate immediately…. What’s your deal? What a fantastic video. What a public service.
@@SuperDflower shitting?
@@IsitReallyrealreally I believe person meant kidding😊
Please recommend clean brands
Thank you doctor ❤
Talk about potassium citrate?😮
Can children take this? My 8yo has anxiety, adhd, ptsd and shows some issues with memory retention
I take magnesium L-Threonate by Vitamin Shop. I had been on Citalopram for years and couldn’t get off of it until I started taking this form of magnesium. This leads me to question if my depression/anxiety was due to a deficit of magnesium to begin with.
Great contribution. Thanks for sharing!
Make a point of at least 2 black bean burritos per week plus at least a meal with large amount of fresh spinach and also a meal of potatoes with skin on as good or better than synthetic version?!?!?
Hi, thank you very much for the information. I'm not sure if this is something you provide, the name brand best suited? I truly need your help with this, there are so many brands and know not all are created equal. Can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you, again for your information and help! ;)
Hi there could you take magnesium while breastfeeding? Also does magnesium citrate help the general intake at all? I lnow it makes you use the bathroom, and Im ok with thhat as well. This is only temporarily until I can order some magnesium L Threonate. Thank you for this wonderful information. 😊
Thank YOU, so very much !
Why not take mag with a vitamin C tablet? Same?
