Magnesium L-threonate powers the brain

Magnesium L-threonate has the unique ability to permeate the brain and enhance the receptors involved in this process. It increases learning abilities, sleep quality, working memory, as well as short- and long-term memory.

Learning is the process by which the brain stores new information by forming new connections between neurons. An example of neuroplasticity, this process depends on the de facto formation of these connections and the number of available connections. We know that when synapses, the connections that allow one nerve cell to communicate with the next, are diminished, memory impairment ensues. It is believed that this loss of synapses explains “age-dependent memory decline”.

Synapse formation depends on several factors that have been well studied, including insulin, ghrelin, various trophic hormones and the ion magnesium, which enhances the activity of more than 300 enzymes. It has now been discovered that magnesium is a critical player in the activation of the nerve channels involved in synaptic plasticity. That means that magnesium is critical for the physiological events that are fundamental to learning and memory.

Magnesium L-threonate may assist with mood disorders such as anxiety, irritability, low mood, depression, restlessness and insomnia. It is important to supplement with magnesium if you have chronic stress because stress increases urinary magnesium excretion. Low magnesium levels may over time result in hypertension, muscle cramps, calcification of soft tissues, and more. 

The symptoms of menopause

Magnesium may also reduce unwanted side effects of menopause while supporting heart health. Although menopause does not cause heart disease, postmenopausal women are at an increased risk of high blood pressure, triglycerides, and levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol due to factors like decreased levels of oestrogen, stress, age, and poor lifestyle habits. Lower levels of magnesium are linked to poor heart health. In one study of 3,713 postmenopausal women, high magnesium levels were associated with lower inflammatory markers related to heart disease, indicating better heart health. Magnesium L-Threonate helps control heart muscle contractions and nerve impulses, allowing for a healthy heartbeat. 

Up to 60% of menopausal women experience insomnia or difficulty sleeping. Compared with premenopausal women, those transitioning through menopause, known as perimenopause, report significantly higher rates of poor sleep — in particular, waking up throughout the night. Hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, and a decrease in melatonin and progesterone, two hormones that have sleep-promoting effects, appear to be the main causes of menopausal insomnia. Lack of sleep is connected to an array of coexisting conditions related to menopause, such as irritability, depression, stress, and weight gain.
