Clinical Applications:
Supports Healthy Brain Magnesium Levels*
Supports Healthy Synapse Number and Function*
Supports Cognitive Health*
Supports Stress Management, Sleep Quality, and a Healthy Mood*
Helps Ensure an Optimal Magnesium Intake for Overall Health* BRAIN MAG features magnesium L-threonate (as Magtein®), the only magnesium form known to cross the blood–brain barrier. Complemented by highly absorbable chelated minerals, this formula is designed to boost the body’s magnesium level to support brain health and promote healthy nervous system function.*
Discussion:
Magnesium has numerous critical roles in human physiology, and its intake is imperative for supporting overall health. It is a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions that regulate essential functions, including energy production, blood pressure, blood glucose, bone development, and muscle and nerve function. Magnesium is widely available in foods such as whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes, and green leafy vegetables.
In the United States, dietary surveys show magnesium intake is consistently below age-specific minimum recommended levels. An analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found that nearly half of Americans ingest less magnesium from food and beverages than is recommended.
Insufficient intake of magnesium is implicated in a wide range of health concerns, including those that affect the brain and nervous system.*
Supplemental magnesium can help ensure optimal intake, yet absorption pathways vary among the different forms, and some types can cause gastrointestinal (GI) distress in those with impaired digestion. Factors affecting absorption, tolerance, and retention of supplemental magnesium include the status of magnesium stores in the body and the type or form of magnesium ingested.*
Magtein® (Patented Magnesium L-Threonate) More than 10 years of research at MIT went into developing Magtein, a magnesium compound comprised of magnesium and threonic acid commonly known as magnesium L-threonate. Magnesium L-threonate has been suggested to be more bioavailable than other sources of magnesium and has been studied for its unique ability to cross the blood–brain barrier delivering magnesium to brain cells.*
Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate Chelate Amino acids are used as chelating agents for magnesium to enhance bioavailability, stability, and safety. Chelates increase mineral bioavailability, protect magnesium from being bound in the GI tract, and lower the risk for osmotic diarrhea, which can occur in some forms.
