Magnesium Think – guardian of your cognitive functions
Kal Magnesium Think contains a combination of magnesium and threonic acid, known as L-threonate, one of the highest quality magnesium compounds. Magnesium L-threonate has the ability to penetrate cell membranes. This leads to greater and more efficient energy production, which is most evident in brain functions.
The magnesium L-threonate formulation was first identified in 2010, and since then, numerous studies have been conducted that prove its effectiveness. For example, a 2019 study showed that treatment with magnesium L-threonate raises the level of magnesium in the cerebrospinal fluid, reduces motor deficits and the loss of dopamine neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease.
In addition, this specific compound helps protect against brain cell death and preserve cognitive functions, as shown by a study conducted on fish. The most recent study from 2022, conducted by Zhang et al. confirmed the effectiveness of magnesium L-threonate in improving cognitive functions. The experimental group, compared to the control group that received a placebo, showed a significant improvement on the “Clinical Memory Test”. In addition, older participants showed greater improvement than younger participants
Magnesium L-threonate is the only form of magnesium that crosses the blood-brain barrier and slows brain aging by as much as 9 years, which was proven in a study conducted by Liu et al in 2016. The results showed that the average functional brain age of subjects receiving magnesium L-threonate decreased from 69.6 years at the start of the study to 60.6 years after just six weeks of supplementation
It is best taken in the evening, before going to bed.
