It is the form most studied for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is why people whose interest is the brain and nervous system choose it over other forms. Like all magnesium, it plays a role in normal nervous-system and psychological function.

You will also see it called magnesium threonate or by the branded ingredient name Magtein. The form was developed specifically because researchers wanted a type of magnesium that could raise magnesium levels in the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the factual basis, stated plainly and without overclaiming. Most forms of magnesium do not cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently. Magnesium L-threonate has been studied for its ability to cross that barrier and raise magnesium concentrations in the brain. That is a statement about where the magnesium goes, not a claim about what it does to your cognition. Magnesium plays a role in normal nervous-system function and normal psychological function, which is the compliant, accurate frame for this form.
