Why it's in Monk Mode
What the research has examined
Magnesium L-threonate has been studied for its effect on cognitive function, and, in animals, for its effect on brain magnesium.*
Published human trials have used higher elemental-magnesium doses than a single Monk Mode serving provides. The research is not settled at this dose.
Some human studies have industry funding. Study design, funding, and dose matter when interpreting the findings.
