@nic.hulscher: 🚨NEW STUDY: Magnesium L-threonate made participants’ brains perform as if they were 7.5 YEARS YOUNGER in just six weeks. Overall cognition: +7.5% IMPROVEMENT Working memory: +5.6% IMPROVEMENT Reaction time/hand-eye coordination: +6.3% IMPROVEMENT This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 100 adults demonstrated significant gains across multiple measures of cognitive performance after six weeks of supplementation with 2 grams of magnesium L-threonate daily, providing 145 mg of elemental magnesium. This is not surprising given that magnesium is essential for normal neuronal function and supports cellular energy production, neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, and the electrical stability of neurons—all processes required for learning, memory, and healthy cognitive performance.

It’s just magnesium folks save your money and buy the cheaper Mg glycinate or citrate. A good study would’ve compared it to other magnesium salts, not placebo. The magnesium dissociates goes into solution the counter ion might have some small effect on pH and the extent of dissolution. Bottom line it’s all about money. There is no clinically significant evidence.

should it ba taken in the morning or night ?

I was a moron 7.5 years ago so I'll wait a little bit 😅

TheKaiser :

too bad caffiene breaka down magnesium

Cynthia RiverRock :

Effective concentration?

What brand should I get

How old were the participants?

Misinformation read the study again pal

break_of_structure09 :

Its another form other then the 3 main including citrate, glycinate, and sulfate i think?

That’s what makes magnesium L-threonate so interesting 🧠 It may support a “younger” style of thinking—not literally reversing age, but potentially helping with mental clarity, memory, learning, and more flexible thinking. Less brain fog, better recall, and a bit more mental bandwidth over time. Really fascinating form of magnesium.

If you have epilepsy and are treated or have improved, or if you have high brain activity, this can increase the chance of having a seizure.

Is this capsules or subq injection?

Magnesium L-threonate produced a small, borderline-significant advantage on one composite cognitive test after six weeks. It did not literally make participants’ brains 7.5 years younger, and the evidence is not strong enough to establish a dependable cognitive-enhancement effect. What the study actually found The trial randomly assigned 100 adults aged 18–45 with self-reported unsatisfactory sleep to: * 2 grams daily of branded magnesium L-threonate, providing 145 mg elemental magnesium * or rice-flour placebo for six weeks. On the prespecified primary cognitive score: * Magnesium group: 112.06 → 120.46, an 8.40-point improvement * Placebo group: 110.82 → 116.42, a 5.60-point improvement * Extra improvement attributable to treatment: approximately 2.8 score points * Statistical result: p = 0.043. Both groups improved considerably, probably including practice/retesting effects. The meaningful comparison is therefore 8.4 versus 5.6 points, not simply announcing that the magnesium group improved 7.5%. The “7.5 years younger” claim This was not measured through brain imaging, biological aging, dementia markers or neurological examination. Researchers took a 2.24-point difference on an age-unadjusted cognitive score and divided it by an assumed average decline of approximately 0.3 points per year: 2.24 \div 0.3 = 7.47\text{ years} That created the “7.5-year cognitive age” figure. The paper explicitly labels cognitive age as an exploratory analysis based on population norms. A more accurate statement would be: “The groups differed by an amount that the researchers mathematically equated to about 7.5 years of average age-related test-score difference.” That is very different from reversing seven years of brain aging. Several results were negative The post leaves these out: * Overall fluid cognition: not significantly better than placebo, p = 0.277 * Crystallized cognition: not significant, p = 0.111 * Picture-sequence episodic memory: not significant, p = 0.092 * Attention/inhibitory control: not significant, p = 0.782 * Processing-speed test: magnesium actually improved less numerically, although the difference was not significant
