Mag Threonate - 60 CT by Ortho Molecular Products – Brain-Targeted Magnesium Support
Mag Threonate by Ortho Molecular Products delivers a clinically studied form of brain-targeted magnesium formulated to help support cognitive performance, memory support, sleep quality, and emotional balance. Each two-capsule serving provides 2 g of Magnesium L-Threonate (as Magtein®), the only magnesium compound identified by MIT researchers to specifically raise magnesium levels within brain tissue. Because transport of magnesium into the brain is normally a tightly restricted process, most standard magnesium supplements have limited impact on neurological magnesium status — Mag Threonate was formulated to help close that gap.
Magnesium serves as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions throughout the body, yet national nutrition survey data suggest a substantial share of adults fall short of recommended magnesium intake, and magnesium status can be further affected by aging, certain health conditions, medications, exercise, and diet. For those seeking targeted brain magnesium support rather than general mineral supplementation, Mag Threonate offers a research-backed mental focus and brain health option to discuss with a licensed wellness professional.
Key Mag Threonate - 60 CT Benefits
- Supports mental focus and clarity

- Promotes deeper, more restorative sleep quality, including time spent in deep and REM sleep
- Supports emotional wellbeing and a balanced mood
- Provides brain-targeted magnesium not achieved with standard magnesium forms
How Mag Threonate - 60 CT Works
Magnesium is essential for brain health, supporting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, serving as a cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis, and helping modulate receptor activity that influences mood and cognition. However, transport of magnesium into the brain is tightly regulated, and blood magnesium levels do not reliably reflect magnesium status within brain tissue. In 2010, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology identified Magnesium L-Threonate as the only magnesium compound shown to specifically raise intraneuronal magnesium levels. Higher brain magnesium has been studied for its role in supporting neuroplasticity — the brain's capacity to form and reorganize connections — along with mental focus and memory support in the aging brain. This mechanism is also thought to underlie Mag Threonate's role in supporting a balanced sleep-wake cycle, mood, and resilience to occasional nervousness and stress.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Magnesium L-Threonate (as Magtein®): The only magnesium compound identified to specifically raise magnesium levels within brain tissue — a 2026 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found Magtein® supplementation improved overall cognitive performance, working memory, and reaction time compared with placebo.
Mag Threonate - 60 CT Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking targeted support for mental focus, memory support, and cognitive performance
- Individuals looking to support healthy sleep quality and a balanced mood
- Those wanting a brain-targeted magnesium supplement option beyond standard magnesium forms
