CogniMag Powder (magnesium threonate + magnesium acetyl taurate)

Potential application:

Cognitive enhancement
Mood stabilization
Reduce hyperexcitability
Strengthen signal-to-noise ratio
Support neuroplasticity and synaptic density

Mechanism:
Optimal cognition requires an optimal balance of excitation and inhibition. 

But how does the brain achieve this balance? 

Through a sophisticated system of receptors and ions that allows our brains to increase or decrease the strength of a neuronal transmission. Magnesium, an ion present in our every neuron, is critical to this system.

Our ability to tell noise and nonsense apart from meaningful, important information depends on the ability of our neurons to dampen or amplify electrical potential. In order to do that, they require magnesium. In fact, our NMDA receptors, fundamental to cognition and thinking, contain a special binding spot just for magnesium. 

When magnesium attaches to that spot, it acts as a kind of plug, preventing excitatory ions from passing through and thus sharpening our neurons' firing. If not for magnesium, our neurons would fire recklessly and without coordination, making it seem like everything is important. But if everything is important, then nothing is. Cognition becomes chaos. 

By acting as a key part of our brain's gatekeeping machinery, brain-permeable magnesium such as CogniMag helps keep our thinking precise by reducing the intensity of noisy, insignificant neuronal transmissions. Neuronal magnesium allows us to filter less meaningful sensations and thoughts from more meaningful ones. This is what scientists refer to as Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). 

While most forms of magnesium do not reach the brain in significant amounts, magnesium threonate and magnesium acetyl taurate are shown by research to increase intracellular Mg2+ ions in the brain. Mitotek CogniMag is a pure blend of these two forms. No filler or additives.
