Designs for Health NeuroMag | Brain Magnesium Support

Designs for Health NeuroMag uses patented Magtein® Magnesium L-threonate to support cognitive function, memory, and healthy brain aging. Learn more here.

Overview

Designs for Health NeuroMag: Brain-Focused Magnesium for Cognitive Support

Designs for Health NeuroMag™ is a specialized Magnesium supplement built around one goal: delivering Magnesium directly to the brain. Unlike conventional Magnesium forms that primarily support general mineral status, NeuroMag uses the patented mineral Magtein® — Magnesium chelated to threonic acid (Magnesium L-threonate) — a highly bioavailable form that has the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, yet emerging evidence confirms that nearly two-thirds of the population in the western world is not achieving the recommended daily allowance for Magnesium. This widespread shortfall is especially concerning for the brain, where Magnesium levels naturally decline with age. Research demonstrates that elevating brain Magnesium content through supplementation with Magnesium L-threonate may be a useful strategy to support cognitive abilities and healthy memory.

NeuroMag is vegan, vegetarian-friendly, non-GMO, and made without gluten, dairy, or soy — making it accessible for a wide range of dietary needs.

How It Works

Why Magnesium L-Threonate Matters for the Brain

Not all forms of Magnesium are created equal when it comes to brain health. While forms like Magnesium citrate and Magnesium oxide support general Magnesium status, Magnesium L-threonate has gained attention for its potential cognitive benefits, attributed to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This unique characteristic is central to the design of NeuroMag.

Magnesium is critical to brain function, serving as a voltage-dependent blocker of NMDA receptors, a regulator of synaptic plasticity, and a neuroprotective agent against excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation. Brain Magnesium levels decline with age and are reduced in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Research suggests that elevating brain Mg²⁺ via Magnesium L-threonate may help reverse synaptic loss and support cognitive function, with supporting human RCT evidence.

Magnesium also plays a role in neurotransmitter balance. It is an essential mineral cofactor in dopamine synthesis (tyrosine hydroxylase) and a physiological blocker of NMDA glutamate receptor channels, supporting the delicate balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter activity. Additionally, Magnesium modulates the HPA axis, supports GABA receptor function, and reduces neuroinflammation — all relevant pathways for brain health and the gut-brain connection.

What's inside

Key ingredients

Magnesium (from 2g Magtein® Magnesium L-Threonate) — 145 mg
Magnesium L-threonate is the centerpiece of NeuroMag, providing 145 mg of elemental Magnesium per serving from 2 grams of Magtein®. This patented form has been shown to be superior in repleting Magnesium in the body compared with other forms, and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier sets it apart from conventional Magnesium supplements. Multiple RCTs demonstrate that Magnesium L-threonate supplementation supports episodic and working memory in adults. A 12-week RCT in older adults with mild cognitive impairment found that Magnesium L-threonate produced a cognitive score improvement equivalent to approximately 9 years of cognitive rejuvenation. Research also supports Magnesium's broader role in cognitive decline and healthy aging: a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis found consistent associations between serum Magnesium levels and risk of dementia, while a separate 2024 PMC review identifies Magnesium inadequacy as a contributor to accelerated aging and proposes maintaining optimal Magnesium levels as a strategy for promoting healthy aging. Studies also suggest that higher Magnesium levels are associated with significantly better attention and memory — a study of 2,466 adults aged 60+ found this link — while low Magnesium is connected to reduced cognitive function, neuroinflammation, and impaired stress responses, all contributors to brain fog. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and is directly linked to all 12 recognized hallmarks of aging, including genomic instability, telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammaging.
Dicalcium Phosphate
Dicalcium phosphate is a Calcium compound commonly used in supplement formulations. Calcium ions play a key role in the physiological processes of the central nervous system, where the intracellular Calcium signal in nerve cells is part of the neurotransmission mechanism. Calcium ions are responsible for stabilizing membrane potential and controlling the excitability of neurons, participating in depolarizing signal transduction and contributing to synaptic activity. In this formulation, dicalcium phosphate serves as a supporting excipient.

Who Benefits

Who Is NeuroMag Designed For?

NeuroMag is formulated for adults seeking targeted brain and cognitive support, particularly those concerned with age-related changes in memory and mental clarity. As we age, Magnesium absorption and retention can decrease, leading to deficiency and health consequences. Older people are more susceptible to Magnesium deficiency due to factors like decreased absorption from food, increased medication use, and potential dietary restrictions.

This supplement may be particularly relevant for individuals experiencing occasional brain fog, those looking to support healthy cognitive aging, or adults who want a form of Magnesium specifically researched for brain penetration. Research suggests that low Magnesium is linked to reduced cognitive function, neuroinflammation, and impaired stress responses.

It is estimated that between 56 and 68% of Americans do not obtain enough Magnesium in their diet on a daily basis to meet the recommended daily allowance. Men older than 70 and teenage girls are most likely to have low intakes. NeuroMag offers a targeted solution for those looking to address potential brain Magnesium shortfalls with a clinically studied form.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes NeuroMag different from other Magnesium supplements?

NeuroMag uses the patented mineral Magtein® — Magnesium L-threonate — a form that has the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier. This distinguishes it from common forms like Magnesium citrate or Magnesium oxide, which primarily support general Magnesium status. Magnesium L-threonate has been shown to be superior in repleting Magnesium in the body compared with other forms, and research specifically links this form to cognitive benefits.

How does Magnesium L-threonate support memory?

Multiple RCTs demonstrate that Magnesium L-threonate supplementation supports episodic and working memory in adults. The mechanistic basis involves Magnesium's regulation of NMDA receptor plasticity and support for synaptic density — processes central to memory encoding and consolidation. A 12-week RCT in older adults with mild cognitive impairment found that Magnesium L-threonate produced a cognitive score improvement equivalent to approximately 9 years of cognitive rejuvenation.

Is NeuroMag suitable for vegans and people with dietary restrictions?

Yes. NeuroMag is vegan and vegetarian-friendly, and is made without GMOs, soy, dairy, and gluten, making it compatible with a wide range of dietary needs.

How much elemental Magnesium does each serving provide?

Each 3-capsule serving provides 145 mg of elemental Magnesium, sourced from 2 grams of Magtein® Magnesium L-threonate.

Can Magnesium supplements interact with medications?

Magnesium and certain drugs use the same transport and metabolism pathways for intestinal absorption and elimination. Magnesium may interact with bisphosphonates, tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics, certain diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, and gabapentin. If you are taking medications, consult your health-care practitioner before beginning supplementation.

Why is brain Magnesium important as we age?

Brain Magnesium levels naturally decline with age, and this decline is associated with reduced cognitive function and increased risk of cognitive decline. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and is directly linked to all 12 recognized hallmarks of aging, including mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammaging. A 2024 review identifies Magnesium inadequacy as a contributor to accelerated aging, and research demonstrates that elevating brain Magnesium content may be a useful strategy to support cognitive abilities and decrease common age-related memory decline.
