Highly absorbable magnesium for cognitive health
Living Labs Magnesium L-Threonate 1500mg 120 Capsules (30 servings)
Smarter Magnesium for a Sharper Mind
Living Labs Magnesium L-Threonate is an advanced form of magnesium created to effectively cross the blood–brain barrier, delivering this essential mineral directly to your nervous system. Magnesium plays a vital role in cognitive health, nerve signaling, and cellular energy—making it one of the most important nutrients for both body and mind.
Unlike standard magnesium supplements that primarily support muscles and bones, Magnesium L-Threonate is specially researched for its ability to elevate brain magnesium levels, supporting long-term brain performance and clarity.
What is the Blood–Brain Barrier (BBB)?
-
The blood–brain barrier is a highly selective, protective boundary between the bloodstream and the brain tissue.
-
It’s made up of tightly joined endothelial cells that line the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the brain.
-
Its main role is to protect the brain from harmful substances (like toxins, pathogens, and large molecules), while still letting essential nutrients (like glucose, amino acids, and certain ions) through.
Does it go “from the blood to the brain to the nervous system”?
-
Yes, but in a specific way.
-
Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients.
-
At the blood–brain barrier, only certain molecules are allowed to cross into the brain’s extracellular fluid.
-
Once inside, these nutrients (like magnesium L-threonate) become available to neurons and glial cells, which are the main functional cells of the nervous system.
So the flow is essentially:
Blood → (through BBB) → Brain tissue → Nervous system cells (neurons & glia).
👉 In short: the BBB doesn’t separate the brain from the rest of the nervous system—it is part of the nervous system’s protection, ensuring the brain gets what it needs while keeping out what it doesn’t.
