was much more effective in crossing the gut blood barrier.

Now, they didn't realize at the time, but threonate is a metabolite of vitamin C.

And there's lots of threonate in your body.

So magnesium threonate would appear to be safe.

And maybe part of the role, or now they believe it's part of the role of the threonate, is that it supercharges the transporter to get the magnesium in.

And remember, you need a transporter at the gut.

They did a study in humans.

They hired a company to do a test.

It was a hands-off test.

It's one of these companies that gets hired by the big pharma to do their tests for them.

And they got patients who were diagnosed as mild cognitive decline.

These are people who had cognitive disorder, which was age-inappropriate.

And the metric that they use for determining how far off they were is Spearman's g-factor, which is a generalized measure of intelligence that most psychologists accept.

And the biological age of the subjects was, I think, 51, and the cognitive age was 61, based on the Spearman-G test.
