Magtein/Magnesium L-Threonate brand matters?

I'm having diarrhea from this form of Magnesium. I do not get this bad on glycinate but this form of magnesium works for me. It simply puts water on my panic-like anxiety.
So, I want to continue taking it but this laxative effect is not bearable.
I read that Magtein has patent and the AIDP Inc. sell the pure ingredients to manufacturers and finalized. I wonder if a different brand can make a difference. I thought this form is supposed to have minimum laxative effect. The recommended dosage was 2,000mg (just like other brands), and I've tried 1,000mg but still the same.

The previous time I tried to dissolve it, it didn't dissolve at all but maybe I don't remember correctly or it wasn't magtein.
I did it again and the water is cloudy, with some left at the bottom. Other ingredients are rice flour, magnesium stearate and silica but must be a very small amount.

If they have some fillers/excipients in the capsules, those might not fully dissolve. I would be very surprised if NOW Foods was selling fake Magtein. If most of it is dissolving, then the small amount left over is likely the fillers and excipients. The cloudiness is likely the rice flour. Not dissolving at all is a different story.
