Magnesium reduces brain injury markers
We examined how intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) affects patients undergoing surgery for brain tumors. Sixty patients were divided into two groups: one received magnesium treatment, while the other received a placebo.
The results showed that magnesium lowered significant protein levels linked to brain injury after surgery. However, it didn’t substantially change the overall functional outcomes for the patients. While MgSO4 appears safe and beneficial in reducing specific markers, more research is necessary to fully grasp magnesium's role in brain injury recovery.

Magnesium's role in brain tumor treatment
We explored the relationship between low magnesium levels and the development of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a patient with advanced breast cancer. After treatment with diuretics and chemotherapy, this patient experienced serious neurological symptoms alongside low magnesium levels.
Following intravenous magnesium supplementation, the patient showed remarkable improvement within 18 hours. This suggests that low magnesium, potentially linked to her treatment regimens, might have played a role in her condition. Thus, monitoring magnesium levels could be crucial in cancer care.

We explored how magnesium sulfide nanoparticles (MgS NPs) affect the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line, which is a significant challenge in treating brain cancer. Using a green synthesis method, we created MgS NPs and tested their effects in cultured cells.
When applied at various doses, we observed that 75 µg/mL MgS NPs reduced cancer cell viability by nearly half. The treatment also increased oxidant levels in the cells, aligning with our findings from cytotoxicity tests. Overall, it appears that MgS NPs effectively hinder the growth of neuroblastoma cells.

Enhanced memory reported

This is the best form of magnesium for brain and nervous system health, unlike other forms that can be laxative. I have been taking this form almost continuously for two years, leading to noticeable improvements in my memory and attention. I wholeheartedly recommend it; it also alleviates leg cramps and restless legs syndrome.

Nervous system support

Magnesium threonate supports the central nervous system, chosen based on specific needs (e.g., relaxation, muscle support). Due to its cost, it should be used judiciously. I take it regularly due to my hearing loss, and I have noticed significant improvements in my symptoms! It certainly makes a difference!

Excellent for anxiety

Excellent magnesium threonate; it operates gently due to its dosage. I've tried various brands, and this one worked for me without the heavy feeling I experienced before. Magnesium threonate is unique as it penetrates the blood-brain barrier, improving cognitive functions and providing quick relief during anxiety. I use it for post-trauma recovery and find it invaluable, though it's pricier than other forms. It can be combined with malate and bisglycinate as needed. I fully endorse this threonate!

Surprisingly effective
8 people found this helpful
I was surprised! I took one capsule in the morning during a sleep-deprived state, and unexpectedly, my brain felt clear and alert. I almost forgot I had taken Magtein, but the effect was undeniable. I recommend it for individuals who struggle with clarity or forgetfulness due to daily cognitive fatigue!

Improved cognitive function

Excellent thing! The brain works better; even my dreams resemble a Hollywood film with captivating plots and vivid imagery! We began taking it as a family, including my children aged 6 (2 capsules daily) and 4 (1 capsule daily). As a result, my children have become calmer and no longer resist reading their primer and doing other homework from speech therapy. It's as if their brains have adjusted and now function primarily in a cognitive manner. However, I'm uncertain what will happen if I stop giving it to them. Nine capsules a day for a family is quite expensive. Please follow your doctor's advice.

Supports brain health

The best type of magnesium for brain and neurological issues! If you experience anxiety or sleep trouble, I highly advise trying Magtein for several weeks. Magnesium is inherently calming, and when combined with L-threonate, it reaches the brain effectively. After struggling with sleep and muscle twitches, I found Magtein to be beneficial. The dosage is reasonable, allowing you to take what works for you. I recommend it!

Excellent! This particular form of magnesium can pass through the blood-brain barrier. Studies indicate that magnesium L-threonate positively impacts cognitive abilities, particularly memory and sleep quality. Although its magnesium content is only about 3%, threonate has high bioavailability, making it a preferable option for enhancing cognitive functions. It should be taken on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
