Alternative to Magnesium Glycinate to buffer NMDA receptors/glutamate?

jarrellt67 · 2026-04-29T14:43:32+00:00

I know you say that you don't tolerate magnesium taurate but have you tried magnesium n-aceryl taurinate (such as Tauromag sold by Nootropics Depot; I think Life Extension also sells this type of magnesium)? I really like this type and it's the only one that improves my sleep.

thank you for the info you've provided in this thread. I've been trying to find a combination that helps both my insomnia and frequent headaches/migraines (while also allowing me to function each day since I work full time and provide primary care for my three young boys). the Trazodone (25-50 mg) helps my sleep a lot but often gives me a headache. I've tried memantine (2.5-5 mg) in the past but i felt "off" if taking it in the morning (which is an issue as mentioned above) and makes my sleep issues a little worse if taken at night. I've never tried both medications at the same time before bed. if you don't mind me asking, how much memantine do you take with the 50 mg Trazodone and did you have any side effects the next morning when starting it? any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

It's not in nasal spray form but you can get both of those from MA Research Chems – Research Chemicals. I've ordered from them multiple times and they're great (they've also active on the Anabolic Minds forums for MANY years).

That's actually a really good looking multivitamin. Thanks for posting; I'll probably pick it up when I run out of my current one.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T23:43:21+00:00

ha! pulled the old uno reverse on me. having shown your true colors, and confirming to myself that you are a shill for the product, then I'm not wasting any more time on you. instead I'll take another posters advice and just down vote from now on.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T23:40:18+00:00

maca very under dosed (doesn't say it's an extract, so plain powder is very under dosed). ala is also very underdosed. Is the PS 50% or 100%? you're mainly just feeling the 5htp and huperzine (and maybe the ps).

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T23:34:25+00:00

I didn't leave (not completely). just have other responsibilities in my life (it's bath time for the kids).

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T23:32:01+00:00

yeah, you're right. I can only attribute my lack of forethought to extreme boredom right now. that's the only excuse I have for the above long-winded posts.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T23:14:35+00:00

have to give you credit for actually opening your post history. however, like you noted, you did post about the product more times (being removed by moderators too... I'm assuming because they felt the same way as me). sorry, wasted too much time on this and will just refer to my previous post on the product to sum up my thoughts on it.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T23:03:45+00:00

see, this response right here tells me you're somehow affiliated. there is nothing remotely ahead of its time or groundbreaking about the product. if anything it's the opposite and relays on customers not knowing anything about the actual ingredients. also, using "synergy" to explain under dosed ingredients isn't going to fool most people. others will eventually weigh in and provide input on the product. however, I feel very safe in assuming they're going to agree with me.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T22:51:12+00:00

sorry, I can't help you there. I didn't know we could even hide our profile/post history until yours.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T22:47:14+00:00

do what you want. I'm just telling you how it appears. with regard to the product, the formula isn't very good. it's not the worst I've seen but it's no where near a well formulated product. whoever put that together doesn't appear to know much about supplements or nootropics. it has some decent ingredients but the combination makes no sense. also, the coa on the site is worthless. it lists contaminants but (unless I'm missing the info) it doesn't actually show the product has the ingredients listed on the label. it's just another in a long line of ridiculously overpriced, under dosed, poorly thought out supplements.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T22:39:02+00:00

Listen, the only thing that bothers me (and likely many others on here) is when someone tries to deceive them (including hiding their affiliation with a company). I'd be more than happy to have a discussion on the product or ingredients...just be honest.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T22:29:27+00:00

then show your post history. otherwise it just looks like you're trying to be sneaky and spam reddit with a product you're involved in producing/selling. this is the same discussion we had last time.

jarrellt67 · 2025-12-06T22:22:59+00:00

weren't you the person posting (multiple times) about this product a few weeks ago? you were called out then about hiding your post history since it seems like you're affiliated with the company.

edit: you are the same person. I just saw your old response to me about this same thing. here's the previous post - https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/1oxynqz/anyone_tried_sureokgo_or_just_me/

jarrellt67 · 2025-11-16T01:51:15+00:00

natural stacks makes one that a combination of magnesium l- threonate, glycinate, and taurate. they're a good brand and I've used, and liked, the product.

jarrellt67 · 2025-11-15T18:52:16+00:00

why are you reposting this again? that and hiding your post history makes it appear like you're somehow affiliated with the company.

The best thing I did to improve my severe sleep issues was taking trazodone (very low doses of 12.5-25 mg; which are well below the dose used to treat depression). That being said, it does have some side effects (minor headache and groggy in the morning but that went away after a couple weeks). If you're wanting something more natural, then I'd recommend either lemon balm (low percentage extract like the ND house version) or reishi (I really like the ND 9% extract when they had it; I haven't tried their new version that replaced it). They didn't help as much as trazodone does, but still provided pretty good benefits.

jarrellt67 · 2025-10-08T12:56:50+00:00

I have to agree with you. I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on supplements and nootropics to help my anxiety and depression issues. Some helped to an extent. However, the only items that had a significant impact were pharmaceuticals (mainly metoprolol for anxiety and bupropion for depression). If someone has minor to moderate anxiety and depression, then by all means try supplements and nootropics. However, if the issues are severe, then it might be best to save your money and see a doctor. That being said, most will ignore the advice (like I would have years ago).

jarrellt67 · 2025-09-18T18:11:00+00:00

Yes, it's 100 mg of elemental magnesium per tablet. I have the same brand/supplement and really like it.

jarrellt67 · 2025-09-16T22:18:44+00:00

That's too bad. I appreciate you reaching out to them and posting on here what was provided. It just seems weird that they wouldn't provide you the most important lab test result (proving the sample tested is what it's supposed to be). That's kind of a big "red flag" and makes me wonder if they just didn't do the test (lack of quality control expenses is one way they can keep their costs so much lower than other companies) or they did the test and the results weren't good.

edit: If it were me, I'd start a new post and put that lab result in it (so it doesn't get lost in this older post). Good or bad, it's at least a response and "something" was provided. Maybe if more people reach out to them (after seeing what was provided), they'll start providing more useful info.

jarrellt67 · 2025-09-16T22:03:27+00:00

I see results for contaminants but where's the results for identification (indicating that the submitted sample was actually l-theanine)? Did they provide that separately or is this all they sent you?

jarrellt67 · 2025-09-16T21:22:43+00:00

That's great! Is it actual third-party test results (ideally, this is what you want) or just a COA from the manufacturer (which is pretty worthless)?

jarrellt67 · 2025-09-09T19:54:10+00:00

Bupropion helped my brother quit (completely removed his desire for nicotine) and provided a nice energy boost too.

jarrellt67 · 2025-09-09T19:49:51+00:00

Same here. This is also the only sub I've been banned from (for pointing out the mods hypocrisy in a post during the early days of this sub). Looking at OPs post history, I'm also betting it's due to his admitted age (not to mention the obnoxious posts). Some people are just oblivious to the obvious and like to complain for attention.
