Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate
Brand: Life Extension · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate is a specialized supplement designed to support cognitive function. However, the critical data provided is for calcium, not magnesium, and no specific studies or adverse event reports for this product are included in the data set. Our assessment is that without data on the active ingredient, we cannot confirm its specific benefits or risks.
How it works
Based solely on the data provided, the ingredient calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This mechanism is unrelated to the intended cognitive benefits of magnesium L-threonate. For the specific effects of magnesium L-threonate on brain health, data is not available.
Safety profile
Data not available for this product specifically. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but these are not broken down by product [FDA data]. For calcium, side effects include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. These side effects do not apply to the magnesium L-threonate in this product.
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product based on the provided data, as it contains no information on magnesium L-threonate. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider. For general bone health, calcium is well-supported, but high intakes may increase risk of heart disease [NIH ODS]. Always check for interactions with medications like thyroid drugs or antibiotics [NIH ODS].
