THE EFFECT OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT WITH MAGNESIUM L-THREONATE ON COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN STUDENTS
Abstract
There are many factors that affect our brain's efficiency and cognitive abilities, but one of the least obvious is magnesium. This mineral is necessary for our body to perform more than 300 biochemical reactions, including those that directly affect brain activity. Magnesium is a key mineral that plays an important role in maintaining brain function and overall nervous system health. It is involved in energy metabolism, neurotransmitter regulation, and is a cofactor in many enzymatic processes.
