Magtein - Patent Protected - Magnesium L-Threonate All The Same

Interested to see if this post gets flamed, deleted, or accepted as the help I'm trying to share. This is only for Magnesium L-Threonate not any other type.
This has been the most beneficial supplement I've used over the last two years. We all know how we want the best supplement for the best price. Sometimes we have to make choices on where our money goes. MagMind/Magtein is an option I would never take a lesser product. With that said.
Magtein is a patent protected element of Magnesium L-Threonate. Any company using it is using a specific formula. Feel free to google Magtein, MagMind, Magnesium L-Threonate "patent"
This means any magnesium threonate product is the same as another. Nootropics Depot $40 bottle is the same as the Jarrows MagMind $24 bottle, as is Life Extension Neuro Mag for $29. I've used all 3 brands listed. I can say they all work and feel exactly the same. I've never had anything else work just as well as Nootropics Depot products besides this specific supplement. (Well maybe Agmatine Sulfate but I still get ND for it)
Do the math and 40% off a bottle of MagMind/Magtein/Neuro Mag means you can add in a more beneficial bottle of Nootropics Depot.

The supplement industry, also known as fractional label claim system, lol. I would never come anywhere close to more "tricky" supplements, if it wasn't for you and your teams work. I really appreciate that.
Also, have you considered selling threonic acid alone? I know there isn't really anyone selling that, but if people combined that with other magnesium supplement, perhaps it would have similar enough effect, without needing to pay extra to patent holders.

We have tried to make threonic acid standalone, but it doesn't really exist. It gets created as part of the chelation process with minerals from vitamin C. Essentially you mix vitamin C with a metal hydroxide, which oxidizes the ascorbic acid and chelates it to the metal. In Magtein's case that is magnesium hydroxide. You could do a reaction of vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide to create free threonic acid, but it is a longer process and nobody currently does it at scale. I am also not sure if it is stable. All threonic acid out there is in salt form with a mineral.
