Most magnesium supplements are not readily absorbed into the nervous system.

Magnesium L-Threonate is able to pass through the blood brain barrier more effectively thanother magnesium forms. Improved brain function is closely associated with the increased synaptic connections in the DG and CA1 sub regions of the Hippocampus that areknown to control memory. The clinical research indicated a greater brain synapse density in subjects taking Magnesium L-Threonate.

In preclinical models, L-threonatecontained in Magnesium L-Threonate boosted magnesium levels in spinal fluid by an impressive 15% compared to no increase with conventional magnesium. Even morecompelling, animal models revealed improvements of 18% for short-term memory and 100% for long-term memory using the Magnesium L-Threonate form of magnesium.
