The only magnesium compound proven to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier to modulate NMDA receptors and enhance slow-wave sleep depth.
Mechanism
Serves as a competitive antagonist to the NMDA receptor, blunting excitatory glutamate.
BBB Transport
Utilizes the L-Threonate metabolite of vitamin C to facilitate active transport.
