Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialResults Compared to the placebo, Magtein ® was associated with greater improvements in overall cognitive performance as measured by the NIH Total Cognition Composite ( p = 0.043), with larger treatment effects on working and episodic memory.2Lopresti AL (2026)The effects of magnesium L-threonate (Magtein<sup>®</sup>) on cognitive performance and sleep quality in adults: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialBased on data from the sleep tracking ring, there were no group differences in sleep outcomes, although there was a greater reduction in HR ( p = 0.030) and an increase in HRV ( p = 0.036), a physiological marker of stress reduction and improved autonomic balance.2Lopresti AL (2026)The effects of magnesium L-threonate (Magtein<sup>®</sup>) on cognitive performance and sleep quality in adults: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialConclusion The results from this study suggest Magtein ® supplementation for 6 weeks improves overall cognition, cognitive age, working memory, reaction time, HR, HRV, and some subjective, but not objective measures of sleep in healthy adults with self-reported dissatisfied sleep.2Lopresti AL (2026)The effects of magnesium L-threonate (Magtein<sup>®</sup>) on cognitive performance and sleep quality in adults: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialThe purpose of this two-arm, 6-week, parallel-group, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to examine the effects of magnesium L-threonate (Magtein ® ) supplementation on cognitive performance, cognitive age, sleep quality, and selected physiological indicators in adults.2Lopresti AL (2026)The effects of magnesium L-threonate (Magtein<sup>®</sup>) on cognitive performance and sleep quality in adults: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialCurrent research suggests that magnesium deficiency is associated with the development of depression, as magnesium influences glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission, as well as the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, both of which play critical roles in stress responses and mood regulation.3Varga P (2025)The Role of Magnesium in Depression, Migraine, Alzheimer's Disease, and Cognitive Health: A Comprehensive Review.
Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialMagnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions, with particular relevance to maintaining neural homeostasis, modulating neurotransmitter systems, and regulating inflammatory and oxidative stress mechanisms.3Varga P (2025)The Role of Magnesium in Depression, Migraine, Alzheimer's Disease, and Cognitive Health: A Comprehensive Review.
Magnesium Threonate Cognition Randomized TrialThis comprehensive review aims to evaluate the potential role of magnesium in the pathophysiology and treatment of three prevalent neurological and psychiatric disorders-depression, migraine, and Alzheimer's disease-as well as its broader implications for cognitive health.3Varga P (2025)The Role of Magnesium in Depression, Migraine, Alzheimer's Disease, and Cognitive Health: A Comprehensive Review.
