Magnesium and the Brain: The Threonate Difference

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for human physiology, serving as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions. According to a 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), over 45% of the population failed to meet the estimated average requirement (EAR) for magnesium. The EAR is the average intake necessary to meet the bodily requirements of 50% of healthy individuals because certain health conditions like diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis require even greater magnesium intakes to meet bodily requirements.

A sufficient level of magnesium is essential for the health and function of the brain. Some of its most important functions are protecting the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), serving as a cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis, and modulating receptors. The transportation of magnesium into the brain is normally a restricted process due to the tight regulation of magnesium in blood. In 2010, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published their novel discovery of magnesium L-threonate, the only magnesium complex shown to specifically increase magnesium levels within the brain.
