Is Magnesium L-Threonate synthetic?

How come we didn't here about this form of Magnesium before, and why do they say it is a newly developed compound? Does this mean it is synthetic? Is all this all hype on a synthetic form of magnesium. If so what are the best natural ones.

There's also a calcium threonate being manufactured by Biocalth. Neither appear in nature, but the mag version is likely chelated from natural sources by Magtein. I would email both companies to confirm.

Magnesium L-Threonate is a novel substance, not found naturally occurring in food, however its constituents are natural.

L-Threonate is a derivative of vitamin C, which forms during its breakdown.

What makes Magnesium L-Threonate so special is the way it incorporates magnesium into the brain. Standard magnesium
will deliver 1% into the brain, where this form will uptake it into 99%.

Research on memory, anxiety and some neurological disorders show early promise.

In some people, it might even help with hair loss, while in others will do nothing.

Thanks for the replies.

So it is safe to use it then. I am also intrigued of it ability to help neurological orders. Would this include tics disorders, parkinson disease and OCD?

Does Magnesium L-threonate help to repair the body, or must it be taken indefinitely?

Mag-T has some potential for some of these disorders, at least as an aid. The most intriguing thing about it, is that so far it appears to the be the only supplement currently available to repair the brain to the level that it does. It helps bridge synaptic connections and alleviate anxiety.

It will work differently, depending on various factors, so trial and error is key to knowing if it's right for you.

It takes approximately 2-weeks to know if it's fully working. How long it should be taken also depends, and
maybe it has to do with how much damage or whether there is adequate magnesium in the brain already.

Do people not take or use topically L-Threonate do inhibit DKK in the scalp which is heavily involved in hairloss....?

It was Calcium L-Threonate that was used in the study. The results on that were...at least in my experience...nothing.

However, I have heard of reports of Mag-T working for hair loss, but probably not necessarily because of DKK-1, but rather what it does for anxiety.

CS, does magnesium taurinate do this as well?

Thanks CS. This Mg-T sounds like really powerful stuff. Exciting! And I like that word "repair". :-)

What I wonder though is, how all the other forms of magnesium fail to pass the blood-brain-barrier sufficiently. Then this compound gets developed and the brain has more access to magnesium. That's all good. But what I wonder is, that eating natural foods and a healthy diet can not get enough magnesium into the brain by natural means. What if there is a reason for that? For that barrier, is it a form of defense? Maybe I'm being paranoid or too cautious, but what if unknowingly in the long term we are doing something we shouldn't because people in the lab developed a way to circumvent that defense.

Not, that I am aware of.

Considering that the pundits within the façade of the pharmaceutical cartel are constantly experimenting on real human patients without real safety testing of their abysmal dementia drugs, which have never entered into the human body before, in comparison, Magnesium and its attachment of the vitamin C derivative, L-Threonate are considerably safer.

So why would someone need/require more magnesium than someone else?

Magnesium itself is estimated to be vastly undernourished in the majority of the population. Add to that, under constant stress, will drain magnesium reserves.

Another way to look at it is that a shortage of magnesium will advance the attrition of telomeres. Here's a general article on the subject I wrote a few years back. It might help explain other details: http://www.immortalhair.org/apps/blog/show/1683510-magnesium-deficiency-damages-telomeres-
