What is Magnesium L-Threonate?

Magnesium L-Threonate is a natural nutritional supplement containing the L-Threonate form of magnesium that can be used to normalize Mg levels in the body with neuroprotective and nootropic effects. Therefore, it can significantly improve memory, learning, and cognition.

According to Wikipedia, Magnesium is a mineral that helps our body stay healthy. It is crucial for many functions in the body, which are closely related to energy metabolism and protein synthesis. It also contributes to elevating brain function, bone health, heart, and muscle activity.

Cima Science Magnesium l threonate information

Manufacturing Flow Chart of Magnesium L-Threonate

Cima Science is the Magnesium L-Threonate manufacturer, and here is the manufacturing flow chart of magnesium L-threonate. As you can see, the process begins with only the finest raw materials: vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide, and magnesium oxide. We then start the production after making sure there isn’t any foreign material in the raw materials. Next, we dissolve the raw material in pure water and chelate it. After that, we filter it to remove any non-allowed substances. Then, we settle down the product with edible alcohol settlement. Finally, we grind the finished magnesium L-threonate and dry and purify it. And we finally get the 98% min purity Magnesium L-Threonate powder.

Magnesium forms available

There are many magnesium salt forms, for instance, magnesium sulfate, magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide, magnesium glycinate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, Etc.

However, in one of the research papers published in 2010, MIT （Massachusetts Institute of Technology)researchers found Magnesium l Threonate was the only magnesium form that could go through the blood-brain barrier. It results in its unique absorption compared with other magnesium salts.

Magnesium VS Magnesium L Threonate

Most metals including magnesium are cations or charged ions that are very unstable. Meanwhile, it’s hard for the body to absorb independent magnesium. Overall, magnesium supplements mostly are chelates that combine magnesium with other anion substances on the market.

Magnesium L-Threonate is a stable form with the magnesium cation linking to the L Threanoic acid (a metabolite of VitaminC) anion. Some investigations indicate that L-Threonate can enhance mineral uptake greatly. In general, Magnesium L Threonate is the best magnesium supplement with excellent stability and easy absorbency.

In recent years, more and more brands try to supply the best Magnesium l Threonate supplement.

Magnesium L Threonate VS Magnesium Citrate

The CAS NO. of Magnesium Citrate is 153531-96-5, with Molecular Formula C₁₂H₂₈Mg₃O₂₃. Magnesium citrate,  known as citric acid or magnesium salt, is made of magnesium carbonate and citric acid. The product is widely used in pharmaceuticals and plays an essential role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart and the conversion of sugar to energy, and is critical for vitamin C metabolism. It works as a food-grade additive, nutrient, and saline laxative.

Magnesium L Threonate VS Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium Bisglycinate CAS number is 14783-68-7, Molecular Formula is C4H8MgN2O4.

Magnesium attaches to glycine, an amino acid that inhibits neurotransmitters and has a calming effect. On the medical side, gastroenteritis, chronic vomiting and diarrhea, and disorders such as kidney disease can lead to low magnesium levels in the blood, and magnesium glycine can help repair magnesium deficiencies. In addition, if taking magnesium citrate can cause diarrhea, magnesium glycine is a good alternative. In addition, magnesium glycine is used widely as a new plant growth promoter and yield enhancer in the United States and European Union.

 

Magnesium L Threonate benefits

Magnesium l threonate for brain health

There have been some discussions based on Magnesium L-Threonate vs. Magnesium Sulfate, both of these compounds can increase memory. However, Magnesium L-Threonate tends to be safer.

Magnesium l threonate can improve nerve functioning while boosting mental energy. Then it leads to a better ability to learn and create new neural pathways. Magnesium threonate also can reduce anxiety, symptoms of depression, and sleep disturbances. The supplement is commonly used to promote relaxation, and calm the mind and has been found effective for mild to moderate depression in adults.

Magnesium l threonate for preventing hair loss

There are two potential reasons that result in hair loss. One is an imbalance of excess calcium with magnesium. The other is poor nutrition and circulation on the top of the head. It will lead to poor hair growth and condition, whereas an increase in blood flow to this area may enhance hair growth. Magnesium l threonate gets both two sides’ ability, Magnesium works as the mineral balance, L threonate passes through the blood-brain barrier to boost blood circulation.

Magnesium l threonate for bone health

Magnesium and calcium deficiency leads to conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Magnesium needs to be in a proper balance with calcium to maintain healthy bone density and bone health as we age.

Limited clinical trials have found that it may prevent and possibly reverse osteoporosis if people take daily magnesium l threonate over long periods. Reportedly, women who supplemented their diets with magnesium threonate over 2 years had fewer fractures and a decreased rate of bone loss.

Magnesium L-Threonate for good heart

Research has discovered that people with a higher intake of magnesium l threonate have a lower risk of heart disease. Clinical trials have revealed that the higher your blood levels of magnesium, the lower your risks of coronary artery calcification. Additionally, it has been approved that higher levels of magnesium can lower levels of the inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein, which is associated with heart problems.

Magnesium L threonate side effects

The reported side effects of magnesium l-threonate are headaches, drowsiness, blood pressure, severe brain fog, an irregular heartbeat, or a feeling of increased blood flow to the head.

Another side effect of magnesium supplements, in general, is digestive upset.

Magnesium l threonate supplements should be avoided if you have issues with your kidneys. Because too much magnesium will overwhelm your kidneys.

Magnesium L Threonate daily dosage

Is magnesium l threonate a safe supplement?

Definitely, it is. We just need to follow the recommended dietary safe daily dosage.

Adult men 400-420mg/day

Adult women 310-320 mg/ day.
