Unique Magnesium Found to Reverse Brain Aging

In a peer-reviewed human study, a magnesium compound has been shown to reverse markers of brain aging by as much as 14 years!

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) findings show that the unique magnesium-L-threonate concentrates in the brain to rebuild neuronal connections and youthful brain plasticity.

 Scientists have shown that magnesium plays an essential role in supporting brain plasticity.

Brain plasticity is the sign of a youthful, flexible brain primed for optimal learning, memory, and cognitive function in a rat animal model.

A medical study showed that raising brain magnesium levels has been proven to restore significant brain plasticity, leading to improved cognitive function.

Scientists at MIT developed and tested a unique compound called magnesium-L-threonate and found it boosted brain magnesium levels by approximately 15%.

These scientists found a novel way of overcoming the problem of getting magnesium loaded into the brain due to poor absorption via using magnesium-L-threonate.

Compared to other forms of magnesium, they found magnesium-L-threonate had the highest brain magnesium-loading ability and has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier readily and coincide with improvements in cognitive function.

In conclusion, studies show that magnesium-L-threonate improves brain plasticity, significantly improving memory, learning, and emotion control.
