What is the difference between Sleep and NeuroMag® Magnesium L-threonate?Updated a month ago

We highly recommend discussing these products with your healthcare practitioner before beginning or modifying your supplement routine.

The differences and how they can complement one another:

A Smart stack (if your clinician agrees it’s appropriate):

  • Daytime: Neuro-Mag® (Magnesium L-threonate) to build brain magnesium levels and support memory, cognition, and mood tone during the day.*  Life Extensions

  • Nighttime: Sleep, with Albion® chelated magnesium bisglycinate, promotes calm and relaxation.*

Why this pairing makes sense:

Different magnesium jobs: magnesium L-threonate is brain-targeted; magnesium bisglycinate is well-tolerated systemic support. Using Neuro-Mag® by day and Sleep with magnesium bisglycinate by night avoids redundancy in form while covering distinct benefits.*

Breaking it down:

  • Our Sleep product: uses Albion® magnesium bisglycinate with TRAACS® chelated technology  (a fully reacted chelate of magnesium + the amino acid glycine). Gentle GI tolerance and nighttime calm and relaxation support.*
  • Neuro-Mag®: uses magnesium L-threonate (magnesium + L-threonic acid). Positioned for brain magnesium support and cognitive health.*
