CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif.A new study found the ingredient Magtein can help control stress and anxiety, plus increase memory and cognitive functions by elevating the brain's magnesium levels.

Published in Pharmacology Biochemistry Behavior, the study provides verification of previous independent research. In the test,  Magtein, designed to improve memory, recognition and learning,  enhanced the memory and led to the consolidation and retention of conditioned taste aversion (CTA) in rats. The supplement, distributed by AIDP Inc. for brain health, helps maintain the health of neuron cells and increases neural plasticity.

Previous published studies showed  Magtein can effectively increase the brain's magnesium levels, which leads to improved learning and an enhanced working memory, as well as controlling the fear memory.

In this study, researchers created an aversive memory that caused the rats to refuse the conditioned stimulus of saccharin. This aversion memory was then slowly extinguished by repeated exposure to saccharin alone. Magtein treated rats exhibited a faster rate of extinction than the control group.

"While further studies are needed, the data suggests that Magtein may enhance many areas of the memory related brain functions, as covered by awarded and pending international patents," Jennifer Gu, Ph.D., AIDP vice president of research and development, said.  We are optimistic that more independent studies will confirm and reveal further applicable functions of Magtein."
