Magnesium L-Threonate Enhances Learning and Memory
The brain needs healthy levels of magnesium to promote neuron-to-neuron communication and to form new neurons and synapses. Some research indicates that Magnesium L-Threonate enhances learning and memory and may help slow down cognitive decline and brain aging.1 This article focuses on Magtein, the most bioavailable form of this supplement that was developed at MIT in 2014.
The results from this new form are quite remarkable. For example, in a 12-week clinical trial with people ages 50 to 70, those who took Magnesium L-Threonate saw their cognitive scores improve compared to those taking a placebo. This included a decrease in memory lapses and better concentration.2 But that’s not all, the benefits of regular supplementation with Magtein are wide-reaching and long-lasting. They include general health benefits, improved mood, and stress reduction, as well as the much sought-after benefits to learning, memory, and cognition.
