Magnesium Health Watch

We’ve discussed the benefits of magnesium in addressing many conditions including migraines, restless leg syndrome, diabetes and stress.  Now, a recent research study shows that magnesium may also figure into treatments for age-related memory decline.  Using a magnesium compound, Magnesium-L-threonate (MgT) in laboratory studies with rats, researchers found that MgT helped stimulate areas of the brain that have to do with spatial navigation and long term memory, and also boosted memory recall.
The study also indicated that only 32% of Americans get the recommended daily allowance of magnesium.  (This figure varies widely but this one seems fairly accurate).
