Application areas:

• Magnesium L-threonate (MgT for short, pronounced "Mag T") is a patented compound developed by MIT scientists in 2010. It has been proven by animal studies to improve working memory, short-term and The role of long-term memory and learning ability.

• Magnesium has long been recognized as an essential mineral for the human body, which can affect more than 300 important physiological functions, such as contracting muscles, maintaining heartbeat, generating energy, and activating nerves to send and receive information.

• Although magnesium is very important for physical function, a large proportion of Americans are magnesium deficient, and about half of them do not meet the recommended intake of magnesium: 310 to 320 mg for women and 400 to 420 mg for men. The estimated degree of magnesium deficiency varies with health and age; for example, an analysis found that having heart disease and getting older increases the risk of magnesium deficiency.

• However, regardless of age, magnesium deficiency is clearly a worldwide health problem. In fact, a French study conducted in 2006 surveyed 2373 subjects between 4 and 82 years old and found that 71.7% of men and 82.5% of women did not consume enough magnesium.

• People with low magnesium levels are at risk for a variety of serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia and other signs of metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis.
