Summary: <p>Magnesium comes in many different forms. Today, I want to cover magnesium threonate or magnesium L-threonate. </p> <p><br></p> <p>This is a specific type of magnesium. Threonate transports magnesium across the blood-brain barrier to the hippocampus. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The hippocampus is involved in memory, learning, focus, and concentration. People typically take magnesium L-threonate when they want to support the brain. </p> <p><br></p> <p>A magnesium deficiency can lead to various issues related to the brain and throughout the body. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Benefits of magnesium L-threonate:</p> <p> • It may help reduce worry and anxiety (especially when trying to sleep)</p> <p> • It may help decrease neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration </p> <p> • It’s a calcium regulator and antagonist </p> <p> • It helps maintain and support the blood-brain barrier </p> <p> • It can act as an antioxidant </p> <p> • It helps support BDNF </p> <p> • It may help with androgenic alopecia </p> <p><br></p> <p>If you want to use magnesium to support the brain, I would use magnesium threonate. To support other issues like cramping or fatigue or to support the heart, I would take magnesium glycinate. Magnesium citrate can be helpful as well, especially to help prevent kidney stones. </p> <p> DATA: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9820677/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... </a> </p>
