Benefits of Magnesium ThreonateĀ
Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes meaning it is involved in over 300 processes in your body! In particular, it has a critical role in supporting the central nervous system.Ā
However, studies have shown that in general there is poor penetration of magnesium across the blood-brain barrier. Magnesium threonate has been shown to be the only form of magnesium that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and elevate levels of magnesium in the brain.Ā
Magnesium supports your energy, brain & sleep healthĀ
The brain is a significant consumer of energy, and magnesium is a cofactor for ATP (the energy currency of all cells). It is therefore essential for energy production.Ā
Synapses are the connections between brain cells that allow one nerve cell to communicate with the next. It is now known that new synapses can form.Ā Ā
Magnesium plays an important role in synaptic plasticity (the ability of synapses to strengthen/weaken), making it an important mineral for memory and learning.Ā
Magnesium is also a cofactor in the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.Ā
What is the difference between Magnesium Threonate & Magnesium L-Threonate?Ā
You might be wondering why some supplements refer to magnesium threonate and others magnesium L-threonate. There is no difference between them, magnesium threonate is just short for magnesium L-threonate.Ā
Should I take Magnesium Threonate at night or in the morning?Ā
if you want to support your cognition throughout the day, magnesium threonate can be taken in the morning with food, while you can take it in the evening or before bed if you are looking to support sleep and relaxation.Ā
Which is better Magnesium Threonate or Magnesium Bisglycinate?Ā
Both magnesium threonate and bisglycinate are well absorbed forms of magnesium that can have beneficial effects to overall health. Magnesium theronate, being able to cross the blood brain barrier, is more effective for supporting cognition and brain function while magniesum bisglycinate may be more beneficial for supporting relaxation and sleep.
