Magnesium is one of the most abundant essential minerals in the body.
Magnesium supplements mostly have low bioavailability, except magnesium L-threonate. In 2010, a novel magnesium compound, magnesium L-threonate (Magtein®) was identified and was shown to raise the magnesium levels in the brain and neurons effectively.
Magnesium L – threonate is the one of the only forms of magnesium that will cross the blood barrier.
The brain’s need for magnesium is high. magnesium L-threonate has been shown to increase brain plasticity. Neuroplasticity (brain plasticity) is the brain’s ability to change and grow, and is fundamental for memory and learning to take place.There’s evidence that magnesium L-threonate can increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that stimulates the formation of new brain cells.
