Magnesium L-threonate may have better cognitive than other formulations, but I wonder if a magnesium glycinate formulation would be better for anxiety/stress reduction.

Anectdotally also, I take Magnesium Bisglycinate from Thorne occasionally and it helps me relax and feel less anxious. My muscles stay pretty rigid normally and after taking the magnesium supplement I can feel everything loosen up. Helps with sleep too.

In my specific instance, I have taken both.

I experienced some reduction in anxiety with the glycinate. It also seems to be the best form for sleep support.

But the l-threonate was on the level of an SSRI for me. The anti-anxiety effect was really pronounced.
