Magnesium L-Threonate For Better Health and Cognitive Function
Magnesium plays a vital role in many physiological processes that are carried out by different cells and tissues in the body. It is used in maintaining the integrity of the muscles, bones, and many other organ systems. While this mineral is sourced from different kinds of food, one must need to eat a lot of magnesium-rich foods to sustain their daily requirements. This is the reason why supplementation plays a very important role when it comes to improving the magnesium profile in the body. This is where Dr. Mercola’s Magnesium L-threonate comes in.
- Readily absorbable form of magnesium
- Does not contain magnesium stearate
- Made from natural ingredients
- Helps protect bones & maintain physiological processes in the body
- Recommended dosage is 3 capsules daily
Rapid Absorption
It is estimated that 80% of the population in the United States do not get enough Magnesium. Unlike elemental Magnesium, this supplement contains Magnesium L-threonate that is a more absorbable form of magnesium. The active ingredient is encased in capsules that can withstand the stomach acid so that it does not get deactivated in the stomach. Once taken in, the small intestines can easily absorb it and assimilate it all throughout the body. It is also designed to enter different membrane barriers so that it can get to its destination faster than elemental magnesium.
Benefits of Magnesium L-Threonate
Magnesium plays a vital role in the growth of bones as well as other organs in the body. Because of its high absorption rates compared to other types of magnesium supplements, it comes with a lot of benefits. Studies show that it can help improve cognitive function and may help people get better sleep, focus, and mental prowess. Other studies also show that magnesium can also help promote better mood thus it can be taken in by people suffering from anxiety and depressive mood states. And because it is not as strong as elemental magnesium, it reduces the discomfort on the gastrointestinal tract.
Provides Adequate Amounts of Magnesium
The problem with elemental magnesium is that the body does not really absorb and assimilate everything within the body. This means that more than half of elemental magnesium may be lost and excreted away from the body. But this supplement contains more than that! Aside from 145 milligrams of elemental magnesium, it also contains 2000 milligrams of magnesium L-threonate. What the body does not take up from elemental magnesium is supplemented by the addition of magnesium L-threonate.
Made from Natural Ingredients
This supplement is made from natural ingredients. The company ensures that it only sources its ingredients from certified organic grower partners. This assures everyone that it does not contain genetically engineered ingredients. Moreover, it also does not contain Magnesium stearate, which is a type of magnesium that is not recommended by Dr. Mercola. For better results, it is crucial to take 3 capsules daily. Unlike other magnesium supplements that require individuals to take in more doses, this supplement conserves magnesium and avoids wastage thus only a few capsules are necessary daily.
Who Is This Supplement For?
The ability of the body to absorb minerals and nutrients including magnesium declines over time. Thus, despite maintaining a healthy diet, this supplement is designed for people who are in their elderly years. This supplement provides enough magnesium to sustain their daily needs. But aside from the elderly, this supplement can also be taken by people who suffer some form of nutrition deficiency. This supplement is basically for everyone.
Suggested Use
Adults, as a dietary supplement, take three (3) capsules daily. Two (2) mid-day and one (1) at night, 2 hours before bed.
