Why Magnesium L-Threonate Is The Best Magnesium Supplement

With all the magnesium supplements on the market today, which is the best form to take? There is magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, magnesium carbonate, chelated magnesium, magnesium glycinate, magnesium taurate, and magnesium L-threonate. When I was a practicing pharmacist I usually would recommend the citrate and chelated forms the most, but now, there is a new kid in town, magnesium L-Threonate. What are some of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency? The main symptom is fatigue and weakness, but shortages of this essential mineral can also lead to loss of appetite. Deficits in this element can also cause muscle cramps, headaches, nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms, and numbness or tingling in extremities. Many researchers believe as much as 80% of the U.S. population is deficient in this essential mineral. There are abundant food supplies of magnesium, especially raw, green organic vegetables. Organic spinach is a good example, along with dried agar seaweed, organic pumpkin seeds, organic cilantro, and organic unsweetened dry cocoa.

Magnesium may be one of the most important macro-minerals in the body, in which some experts believe it may be more important than calcium. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. Ironically, as you age, you absorb less minerals, in particular magnesium. Calcium is crucial in supporting and strengthening bone structure, but many people don’t realize that magnesium is just as important in building bone. It plays a vital role in building DNA and genetic material as well. It aids in a large number of physiological functions, helps the body to synthesize glutathione (master antioxidant), helps the body in protein synthesis and energy production. Lastly, magnesium aids the body in detoxifying.

One of the problems with magnesium is there are no effective blood tests to measure levels because it is found mostly inside the cells and not in the blood. When your body becomes deficient in magnesium, it pulls what’s stored in your red blood cells and deposits it into the serum of your blood. So the standard blood test may show your levels as normal even though your red blood cells’ stores of this element are depleted. Magnesium L-threonate has been shown to penetrate cell membranes as well as cross the blood-brain barrier, while other magnesium supplements cannot. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University in Beijing found that magnesium L-threonate (MgT) increased the number of neurons in the hippocampus (major role in learning and memory embedded deep in the temporal lobe of the brain). The study, which was published in Nature Neuroscience, is the first to show magnesium can increase the size of hippocampal neurons. Lastly, unlike other forms of magnesium, which can cause gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort and loose stools, magnesium L-threonate does not actually act as a laxative and can actually aid to reduce GI distress.

Your body can absorb magnesium through the skin. That is why a day at the beach does wonders for the brain and calms you down, enabling you to sleep like a “rock.” Ocean water is full of this vital mineral. In fact, of the 47 minerals in ocean water, magnesium is the third most abundant. So, magnesium L-threonate seems to support healthy brain function, promoting clearer, calmer thinking, while paradoxically providing a more restful sleep. Where can you purchase this vital mineral?
