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.

Jesus christ the whole industry is a sham. I am basically down to shopping from ND and Now Foods and was not sure about the second. I have never been let down by Now Foods but you suspect anybody now. Good to hear they are at least fighting the same fight. They are probably alright if they are doing that.

NOW has their own in-house lab in Chicago. That's where they test everything. It's about 3-4 times bigger than our lab. Of course they are much bigger than we are, and have been around much longer. That being said, their milk thistle also failed our testing. It had 56% of the claimed silymarins. Literally everyone's milk thistle that we tested failed. That's because they use the faulty UV-Vis number that overstates the actual silymarins by double. Everyone is claiming 80% silymarins, but it really only has 40-50% when tested properly with HPLC or UPLC. Real 80% and 90% silmarin extracts do exist, but they are much more expensive. Why use those when you can just sell the cheaper 40% and claim 80% like everyone else? That's the problem with this industry. If you are the only one properly labeling your stuff, you look less potent than everyone else that is improperly labeling.
