I'm disappointed with Magtein
I’m a big fan of magnesium supplements but Magtein magnesium l-threonate gave me horrible insomnia. I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t able to sleep more than 4 hours at night. I read some of the Magtein reviews online and it increased anxiety so I didn’t take it last night and I slept for 6 hours. I’m returning this product ASAP.
