The Questions We're Settling
Three forms. Three claimed specialties. One head-to-head comparison.
Is Glycinate really the best for sleep and anxiety?
Does Threonate actually improve cognition more than the others?
Is Citrate just as good as the expensive options?
Which form do people actually feel the most?
Which one causes the least gut issues?
The Three Arms
You'll be randomly assigned to one group. We ship you an 8-week supply. Same brand quality across all arms — only the form differs.
Arm A — 50 people
Glycinate
400mg elemental Mg/day
"The sleep and relaxation form"
Arm B — 50 people
L-Threonate
144mg elemental Mg/day
(2g Magtein — standard dose)
"The brain form — crosses the blood-brain barrier"
Arm C — 50 people
Citrate
400mg elemental Mg/day
"The budget all-rounder"
Why random assignment? If everyone picks their favorite, the "I already believe in Glycinate" crowd skews the Glycinate results. Random assignment removes bias and lets us actually compare.
