Detailed Information
n
Chemical Structure and Absorption
n
Magnesium L-Threonate (MgT) is created by binding magnesium with L-threonic acid, a metabolite of ascorbic acid. This increases solubility and permeability across biological membranes, including the blood-brain barrier, through active transport with ascorbate-sensitive transporters.

Pharmacokinetics and Distribution
n
Preclinical models show enhanced cerebrospinal fluid magnesium concentrations after MgT administration compared to traditional magnesium forms. It exhibits a unique bio-distribution pattern, ensuring higher CNS uptake without significant elevation of serum magnesium levels.

Neurotransmission Modulation
n
Studies suggest that MgT modulates both inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission by regulating ion channel function, affecting NMDA and GABAergic receptor subtypes. This interaction may enhance GABA signaling while reducing excess glutamatergic excitation, possibly explaining the calming effects observed.

Endocrine and Muscular Effects
n
Emerging research evaluates MgT’s influence on endocrine pathways, particularly in the HPA axis and cortisol regulation. Some pilot studies have assessed its efficacy in reducing tension-type headaches and improving muscular relaxation through better intracellular Mg2+ buffering.
