Magnesium and the Brain: The Threonate Difference

Magnesium plays a crucial role in human physiology, acting as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions. However, a 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey revealed that approximately 42.9% of Canadian adults had a usual intake of magnesium below the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)

The EAR represents the average intake necessary to meet the bodily requirements of 50% of healthy individuals. Certain conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis, increase the body’s need for magnesium, necessitating higher intake levels.

Several factors contribute to magnesium deficiency. Firstly, the magnesium content in produce has declined by 80–90% over the past century, primarily due to soil depletion and agricultural practices . Secondly, diets high in processed foods, which often lack magnesium, further exacerbate the deficiency . Additionally, aging, certain medications, and excessive consumption of soft drinks, caffeine, alcohol, sodium, calcium, and protein can negatively impact magnesium levels.

Addressing these factors is essential for maintaining adequate magnesium intake and supporting overall health.

Why Magnesium Status Matters

Poor magnesium status is linked to health concerns such as:

Occasional headaches
Poor cognition and concentration
Low mood and nervousness
Suboptimal blood pressure
Altered insulin response

Magnesium is tightly regulated in the blood, making it difficult to assess magnesium status accurately. Yet, sufficient magnesium levels are essential for brain health. It helps protect the blood-brain barrier (BBB), supports neurotransmitter synthesis, and modulates receptors.

The Breakthrough: Magnesium L-Threonate

Normally, magnesium transport into the brain is limited due to tight blood regulation. However, in 2010, researchers at MIT discovered magnesium L-threonate, the only magnesium compound shown to specifically increase magnesium levels within the brain, offering unique cognitive benefits.

Formulations That Work

Evidence-Based

All Ortho Molecular Products are evidence-based. The most reliable evidence comes in the form of well-controlled human clinical trials, in populations demographically similar to our doctors’ patients, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This is the standard we are aiming for when we consider which ingredients to include in our formulas. However, we also honor the historical data of thousands of years of traditional use, as well as the direct observations of health care practitioners in clinical practice.

Raw Material Superiority

Equally important as which ingredients to include is which forms of ingredients to choose. After all, there can be tremendous variation in two ingredients both called CoQ10. At Ortho Molecular Products, we hold ourselves to a standard of raw material quality seldom seen in the supplement industry, and it starts with asking the right questions. For example, when evaluating a raw material, most companies’ first question is: How much does it cost? We ask: Does the ingredient match the specifications used in clinical studies? Is it bioavailable? Has it been tested for safety? What is its country of origin? Was it manufactured in a controlled facility? Simply stated, we do not use inferior raw materials. Ever.

Therapeutic Potency

Of course, even if you have chosen evidence-based ingredients and provided them in a superior form, the formula will not work if the dosages are too small. That’s why Ortho Molecular Products always include the right therapeutic dosing of each ingredient, based on established research. This approach is what separates good supplements from great supplements — formulas that truly help your patients get better faster. It is what drives efficacy and the reason we always formulate to the power of e.
