Mag L-Threonate features magnesium L-threonate as Magtein®, designed to help support cognitive health. Magnesium, a divalent cation, is important for neuronal activity as it binds to neurotransmitter receptors and is a co-factor for neuronal enzymes.

The crucial health benefits of magnesium include solving or preventing osteoporosis, heart attacks, hypertenstion, constipation, migraines, leg cramps, kidney stones, gallstones and more. Magnesium is an essential part of the alternative health approaches of alternative medicine.

According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, magnesium is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium "helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps maintain blood sugar levels already within normal range, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis."

Magnesium-L-threonate for halting or reversing Alzheimer's and other kinds of memory loss

For a long time, we have known that magnesium is important to proper functioning of the brain. A few years ago, however, researchers at MIT formulated a new kind of magnesium supplement that stopped or even reversed neurodegeneration. This special supplement, magnesium-L-threonate, or MgT, improves synaptic plasticity and density, which are the foundations of memory and learning. It does this because, unlike other forms of magnesium, it can reach the brain in large quantities.

Magnesium-L-threonate for PTSD, anxiety and depression

Referring to the section just above this one, the MIT researchers also discovered that magnesium-L-threonate can help those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). MgT helps the the brain block the return of old fear memories. Because of these findings, the researchers now recommend elevating brain magnesium with MgT to dampen traumatic memories and treat PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
