Neuro-Mag (Magnesium L-Threonate) - 90 Capsules

Pete's Notes

Life Extension is a company who were early to understand the need for magnesium to help the brain and to be able to produce a magnesium product that can preferentially get to the brain and through the blood-brain barrier. I've used this product in the past and we use this with patients who want some brain help.

Neuro-Mag® (Magnesium L-Threonate) can help maintain normal cognitive function when ageing.

Magnesium is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions and 600 enzymatic reactions in the body. Magnesium L- threonate is a powerful form of magnesium that is delivered into the brain where it can maintain the quantity of synaptic connections between brain cells. Increased brain magnesium levels can improve short- and long-term memory.

• Can support memory
• Can support cognitive function
• Helps to maintain quantity and quality of synaptic connections in brain cells
• Can optimise magnesium levels in brain
• Can support cardiovascular health
• Can support bone health

Suggested use is 3 capsules per day.

Why It Works

Magnesium is essential for more than 300 different biochemical reactions in the body — from cardiovascular [1-8] and bone health [9-12] support to energy metabolism support [13-15], mood [16-19] support and most especially magnesium can also contribute to your cognitive function [20-25]. Unfortunately, it's hard to maintain optimal levels of magnesium in the brain - especially because of magnesium levels in the body decrease with normal ageing.

Neuro-Mag® Magnesium L-Threonate supports healthy memory and cognition by optimizing magnesium levels in the brain. Because of its superior absorption into the bloodstream and nervous system, Neuro-Mag® provides the ideal form of magnesium for enhanced memory and cognitive function.

The Science Behind the Product

Magnesium is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions [26] and 600 enzymatic reactions [27] in the body. Furthermore, magnesium is also needed to support cardiovascular, [1-8] bone health, [9-12] energy metabolism,[13-15] glucose metabolism,[28-32] mood, [16-19] sleep [33-35]  and vitamin D status,[36-38].

Magnesium L-threonate is a powerful form of magnesium that is delivered into the brain where it can maintain the number of synaptic connections between brain cells [20-21]. It can also support important brain signalling pathways. Increased brain magnesium levels can improve memory [20-25]. It was shown in compelling animal models that Neuro-Mag® Magnesium L-Threonate improved short-term memory by 18% and long-term memory by 100% [20].

The problem with many magnesium supplements is that they are not absorbed well enough into the nervous system. In order to solve this issue, a powerful form of magnesium known as  L-threonate has been created. It was shown that this particular form of magnesium can target the ageing brain and nervous system. In preclinical models, the magnesium L-threonate contained in Neuro-Mag® increased magnesium levels in the spinal fluid by 15% compared to no increase observed with traditional magnesium [20].
