Magnesium L-threonate
Magtein · Brain
The magnesium form marketed for the brain on the strength of rodent data and a couple of small human trials.
What the evidence says
One small industry-funded trial in older adults reported cognitive improvement; the brain-magnesium mechanism is mostly rodent work.
What studies used
Labels commonly list 1,000-2,000 mg magnesium L-threonate, which is only about 70-145 mg elemental magnesium.. Evening, per most labels..
Reported from published studies and product labelling — a record of what was used in research, not a recommendation. What is right for you is a conversation with a clinician.
Watch out for
- Low elemental magnesium per dose, so it does not replace a foundation magnesium
- Expensive for what is measured
