Magnesium L-threonate is easily absorbed. Research shows that contrary to other magnesium compounds it has a unique ability to enter the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier.
A recent human study demonstrates the benefits of magnesium L-threonate in adults with cognitive dysfunction, sleep disorders, and anxiety. This includes a spectacular result with more than nine years reversal of certain aspects of brain aging.
Studies have shown positive effects of magnesium L-threonate on Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons disease as well as for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This is due to its ability to restore brain plasticity.
When Magnesium L-threonate enters the brain, it increases the density of synapses, which are the communication connections between brain cells. This is important since loss of synaptic density is associated with brain shrinkage and cognitive decline
This type of Magnesium is often used for its potential brain benefits and may help manage certain brain disorders, such as depression and age-related memory loss.
It also has the same benefits as other types of magnesium. It prevents muscle cramps, eye twitching, migraines and cardiac dysrhythmia.
