Re: Novel Magnesium Compound Reverses Neurodegeneration

not bad. wiki says it also has a possibility of decreasing androgen driven balding.

Magnesium L-threonate is a magnesium salt of L-threonic acid having the formula Mg(C4H7O5)2.[1]

One study reported that magnesium L-threonate administered to rats significantly boosts their cognitive abilities[2] [3], and suggest that the same effect may occur in humans, although this remains to be tested. Another study suggests that because L-threonate inhibited DKK-1 expression, it may have application as a treatment for the prevention of androgen-driven balding[4] Tweet
