FREMONT, Calif., May 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month, researchers at Magceutics LLC extensively studied the brain and the role of magnesium L-threonate in managing of mood disorders. Mental health encompasses areas beyond depression, including emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and much more. Millions of Americans suffer from mood disorders but approximately 60% are in treatment-resistant to typically prescribed medications.
The first report on magnesium to improve mood was published in 1921 and showed success in 220 out of 250 cases. Since then, numerous reports have found rapid improvements in mood with the use of magnesium. supplementation including a randomized trial that indicated it was as effective as an antidepressant in improving cheer up. One possible reason for its effectiveness is that many of the neurotransmitters in the brain that signal happiness require magnesium to be synthesized. Magnesium in the brain is needed to make “feel good” neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that modulate mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include depressed mood, confusion, and agitation. People with depression are known to have lower levels of magnesium in the blood, brain and cerebral spinal liquid the last two being strictly controlled and difficult to increase. Choosing the correct magnesium is essential when addressing magnesium deficiency for mood.
In recent research, only magnesium L-threonate increased brain magnesium levels, even when compared to magnesium citrate, glycinate, gluconate, malate, and magnesium. chloride. Magnesium L-threonate was shown to be effective in increasing cerebrospinal fluid magnesium levels compared to magnesium chloride or gluconate, resulting in better cognition in animals Models.
Merely prescribing medication for a mood disorder caused by magnesium deficiency in the brain is not treating the root cause. To fix the underlying problem, the root cause must be addressed, going beyond just masking the symptoms. During Mental Health Month, it’s important to explore a wide range of strategies to improve your mood. Depressed mood may simply be a sign of magnesium deficiency in the brain, and increasing brain magnesium levels, particularly with the use of magnesium L-threonate, can have profound benefits on mood.
