threonate

Small moleculeexperimental

Magnesium L-Threonate (MgT) is the most appropriate Mg salt that strengthens the cholinergic system and improves brain-related functions. It is used to improve memory, assist with sleep, and to enhance overall cognitive function. Mg, an intracellular cofactor for many enzymes, is a modulator of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor that is involved in memory function and depression. Experiments on rodents have shown that oral magnesium-L-Threonate also prevents neuropathic pain induced by chemotherapy. — NCATS
