A.product description
Magnesium L-threonate, or MgT for short, It is a new form of the essential element magnesium, a patented compound of magnesium developed by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2010 that has been shown to improve The role of working memory, short- and long-term memory, and learning ability.
B.working principle
The first animal study using MgT, published in the journal Neuron in 2010, noted that MgT was able to be rapidly absorbed into the brain by increasing the number of "functional presynaptic release sites while reducing their probability of release" ’, structurally reversing specific aspects of brain aging.
C.Recommended dosage:2000mg/day
D.The importance of magnesium supplementation:
Magnesium is recognized as an essential mineral that affects more than 300 important physiological functions, such as contracting muscles, keeping the heart beating, producing energy, and activating nerves to send and receive messages.
E.The function of magnesium threonate:
MgT not only improves performance on individual cognitive tests but also reverses brain aging by more than 9 years in older adults with cognitive impairment
MgT was found to significantly improve people with anxiety, sleep disturbances and cognitive impairment
F.Market prospect of magnesium threonate:
Magnesium deficiency is a worldwide health problem. A 2006 French study of 2,373 people between the ages of 4 and 82 found that 71.7 percent of men and 82.5 percent of women didn't get enough magnesium. People with low magnesium levels are at risk for several serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and other signs of metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis. Magnesium threonate has been widely accepted as a magnesium supplement, and people are also aware of the harm caused by the lack of magnesium to the human body. Magnesium threonate is the most helpful supplement for the absorption of magnesium on the market. Will become the leader in magnesium supplements
G. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of similar products:
1. Magnesium Oxide: It is not easily absorbed, stays in the digestive tract for a long time, and is more effective for digestive tract problems, such as indigestion, constipation, and hyperacidity.
2. Magnesium threonate: The special feature is that its molecule is very small and can pass through the blood-brain barrier, so it can promote various functions of the brain such as improving memory, learning ability and cognitive function. It can also improve sleep and regulate mood .
3. Magnesium glycinate: Easily absorbed, glycine itself is an independent dietary supplement, which can reduce chronic inflammation while improving sleep and regulating mood.
4. Magnesium citrate, citric acid widely exists in natural citrus fruits, the most common supplement, has high bioavailability, easy absorption, improves serum concentration and improves constipation and mental stress at the same time.
5. Magnesium malate Malic acid is present in wine, fruit and other foods. Magnesium malate is easily absorbed and is suitable for magnesium supplementation for diarrhea. Improves muscle pain and chronic fatigue.
6. Magnesium sulfurate, sulfuric acid is also an amino acid, magnesium sulfate can regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and is good for preventing diabetes and heart disease.
7. Magnesium lactate, our body's muscles and blood cells can produce lactic acid, magnesium lactate is easily absorbed, and has a milder effect on the digestive system, suitable for those who need large doses of magnesium and are intolerant to other magnesium supplements.
8. Magnesium sulphate, nicknamed Xieyan, as the name suggests, is a good choice for constipation, but it has a strong taste.
9. Magnesium chloride. Chloride ions are relatively unstable. Magnesium chloride is quickly absorbed in the digestive tract. It is clinically used to treat hypomagnesemia.
10. Magnesium orotate. Magnesium orotate is also easily absorbed and has no strong laxative effect, but it can help the cardiovascular system to generate more energy. It is very popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. The disadvantage is that it is relatively expensive.
Dosage problem: For the purpose of supplementation, according to the national standard, 4-6 years old should not exceed 200mg, 7-10 years old should not exceed 250mg, and 11-17 years old should not exceed 300mg.
Overdose problem: The body will automatically excrete more than the body needs, unless the kidneys are not functioning well, it is unlikely to cause any problems.
H. Which Magnesium Supplements to Avoid
a.magnesium oxide
The bioavailability of this magnesium is only 4%, so it takes a lot to get anything right. It can also cause negative reactions in some people - we have readers reporting joint pain and gastrointestinal issues. A Taiwanese study of older adults found that those who took magnesium oxide supplements (often taken as a laxative or antacid) were 66 percent more likely to suffer a hip fracture over a 5-year period.
This form is found in many magnesium supplements and should be avoided. Companies that use it tend to use other low-quality ingredients. If you see magnesium oxide on the label, it's a good sign that the supplement brand you're looking at is cutting corners and not making quality and your health a top priority. Not recommended.
b.Magnesium stearate
This magnesium is used as a coating agent in supplements and is insoluble in water. It will not help you restore your magnesium levels at all. In fact, it's even possible to be allergic to magnesium stearate. This form of magnesium should be avoided. Not recommended.
magnesium lactate
Magnesium lactate is derived from lactic acid, a product of bacterial fermentation. Magnesium lactate can also be dangerous for people with kidney disease because the extra lactic acid may irritate the kidneys. Not recommended.
C.Magnesium Aspartate
Studies have shown that it does not dissolve well in water; this is an indicator of its low bioavailability. Also, aspartic acid is not something we want more of. In excess, it can be neurotoxic...like aspartame. Not recommended.
