Of the six forms studied, only two had higher bioavailability\u0026amp;mdashand of those two, only MgT was able to enhance memory.\u003cbr\u003e Promotes stability and adaptability of synapses\u003cbr\u003e Magnesium is a cofactor for numerous enzymes that control nerve cell functions and synapse integrity. Synapses are the points where nerve cells make close contact with each other via their cell membranes to exchange information. The movements of ions such as Mg2+ across the nerve cell membranes can change as we age, adversely affecting cellular excitability, chemical transmitter release, and synaptic plasticity (synapse adaptability).\u003cbr\u003e The ability to store new information in nerve cell networks depends on the density and strength of the synapses, and their capacity to adapt to changing information inputs (synaptic plasticity).\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, loss of synapse density is correlated with age-dependent memory decline in rats. Numerous animal trials have been performed to measure the effect of magnesium-L-threonate on cognitive outcomes. In a recent investigation, feeding MgT to raise brain magnesium led to significant enhancement of spatial and associative memory in both young and old rats.\u003cbr\u003e Help with age related memory decline\u003cbr\u003e Memory and learning decline with age, yet magnesium-L-threonate has been shown to slow this decline in mice. At the cellular level, MgT supported the integrity of synapses in the hippocampus, frontal cortex, and other regions of the brain. Magnesium-L-threonate hasn't yet completed a clinical trial, but human studies have evaluated the effects of magnesium on human memory performance.\u003cbr\u003e For example, in a study of 71 men and women higher blood levels of magnesium were associated with superior cognitive function, as measured by clinical ratings and scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique delivery of magnesium into the brain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVital for memory, learning and concentration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes stability and adaptability of brain connections (synapses) that facilitate learning, memory, attention and all other brain functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports mood and other aspects of cognitive health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlows down age related memory decline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer serve (3 capsules)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium - 150mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(from 2085mg Magtein Magnesium L-Threonate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: Calcium laurate, hypromellose (vegetarian capsule), rice flour. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDosage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults: Take 1 capsule in the morning and 2 capsules two hours before bedtime, or as recommended by your healthcare professional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep out of reach of Children.

Ubiquinol supports the production of ATP, the main energy intermediate in living organisms. Ubiquinol provides the spark for most of the bodys energy production and plays a vital role in generating energy to power organs such as the heart, kidneys and lungs.

Ubiquinol is acquired by biosynthesis, supplementation and in small amounts from the diet. As we age, ubiquinol is produced less by biosynthesis. Because of this, supplementation is the best option.
