Magnesium L-Threonate

**NOTE: NZ & AU orders are currently preorder. Available for UK now.**

L-Threonate enhanced Magnesium for superior neuronal uptake

90 Capsules per bottle, 1 - 4 capsules per serve. Every capsule includes:

• Magnesium L-Threonate (700mg)

NOTE: Bottle cap is pop cap, not screw top as depicted.

Magnesium is an essential cofactor of over 300 enzymes in the human body, making it an essential element to all organ systems in the body.

Magnesium is also critical for key cognitive functions - particularly in its function to block NMDA receptors, driving adaption to create more NMDA receptors as well as  BDNF and other brain plasticity functions which yields improved long term memory functions. This potent NMDA binding also prevents glutamate driven stimulation, both providing neuroprotective benefits and making for a calming and relaxing function for decreasing time to fall asleep.

Why L-THREONATE enhanced?

Due to the poor ability for many forms to cross the blood-brain barrier effectively, many persons may have abundant system magnesium but are still lacking in the local neuronal supply in order to benefit from the full potential of its NMDA binding action for sleep health and long term cognitive health.

This is where the MIT developed the L-Threonate enhanced Magnesium chelate demonstrates unique value. L-Threonate is an amino acid and metabolite of vitamin C which has by itself shown increased uptake of magnesium into neurons. When bound to L-threonate, we also see good efficiency of crossing the blood brain barrier (much like Magensium bisglycinate or Magnesium Taurate), compared to more common forms such as Magnesium oxide.
Thus combining the two makes for the brain-magnesium dream team, whereby both delivery of and use of the desired magnesium is increased in the brain.

Magnesium L-Threonate is popular for:

• Supporting Healthy Sleep;
• Supporting Memory Functions; 
• Supporting Mood & Stress Resistance.

Recommended Use:

As a dietary supplement, take ONE to FOUR capsules throughout the day. A popular protocol is to take ONE capsule in the morning, and then later TWO or THREE capsules before bed.
