Crosses the blood-brain barrier to support healthy mood, cognition and sleep.
- Magtein® is the only form of magnesium shown to effectively increase magnesium levels in the brain.
- Promotes healthy sleep patterns and mood.
- Supports cognitive function, including executive function, working memory, attention and episodic memory.
Research-Supported Benefits:
Supports Cognitive Function. Magnesium threonate is essential for maintaining between-cell signaling and promoting the growth, maturation and survival of neurons and their networks. Magnesium threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier and boosts the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that promotes the survival and growth of neurons. Clinical research shows that magnesium L-threonate in the form of Magtein® can significantly improve executive function, working memory, attention and episodic memory. This cognitive improvement was equivalent to a nine-year reduction in their overall brain age.1,2
Supports Healthy Mood. Magnesium threonate supports a healthy mood because it plays a role in neuronal signaling and BDNF production. Magnesium threonate is also involved with the function of some neurotransmitters, including GABA, serotonin and dopamine. Research shows that adults aged 50 to 70 who took Magtein® for 12 weeks had significant reductions in stress-related anxious symptoms and feelings of fear compared to the placebo group.3
Supports Sleep. Magnesium is known to support healthy sleep patterns, including increasing total sleep time, reducing sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and improving sleep efficiency.4
