Behind the Science of Brain-Targeted Magnesium
Author(s)AIDP
While magnesium plays a critical role in more than 300 cellular processes in the body, most conventional forms struggle to reach the brain due to the protective blood–brain barrier. Developed to overcome this challenge, Magnesium L-threonate (Magtein®) is advancing the science behind magnesium and cognitive longevity. Dr. Rafea Naffa, Ph.D., Director of R&D at Threotech, sat with Nutritional Outlook to explain the science behind this patented and unique form of magnesium and how it helps elevate brain magnesium healthy levels to support neuroplasticity and synaptic density. He also discusses the potential of brain-targeted magnesium supplementation to promote cognitive vitality, mental energy, and healthy brain aging.
