Benefits of Magnesium L-Threonate
- Brain health: It helps to promote brain health and support cognitive function, as it aids neurotransmitter activity, improves synaptic connections, and improves cellular energy production. Improvements in learning, recall, memory, and cognitive abilities were observed in all age groups of study participants, with older people experiencing the highest improvement.
- Pain relief: Magnesium L-threonate also appears to help relieve pain. A study found that cancer patients taking magnesium L-threonate supplements were needing less opioids such as morphine after 30-90 days of supplementation. Researchers suggest that this supplementation may have affected the brain in such a way that the pain was not as intense.
- Constipation relief: While magnesium is commonly used to promote digestive regularity, the cancer study showed that the patients not only had less need for opioids, but also experienced relief from opioid-induced constipation. Magnesium draws water into the stool and promotes gastric motility, also making stools easier to pass.
- Reduce ADHD symptoms: A small study indicated that magnesium L-threonate supplementation showed significant improvements in ADHD symptoms and executive functioning in almost half of the participants.
How Magnesium works
Magnesium is a mineral that is important for many processes in the body, such as generating new proteins, blood sugar and blood pressure regulation, muscle and nerve function, energy production in every cell, gene regulation, bone and teeth maintenance, and many more. Magnesium on its own is not easily absorbed and supplements are paired with other organic compounds to make it easier to absorb in the body.
Is Magnesium L-Threonate Safe?
Magnesium L-threonate supplements are considered safe when used appropriately, but it is best to choose a quality product from a trusted company in consultation with your health care professional. Health Insight’s supplements are made with ingredients from reputable suppliers in a controlled environment.
People with kidney failure or kidney-related health problems should not take magnesium supplements, as the kidneys are responsible for removing excess magnesium from the body and kidney failure can result in magnesium levels rising to dangerous levels.
