Amid a growing demand for magnesium supplements, ThreoTech highlights its Magtein, a highly available form of the mineral with EU novel food status. The company states that Magtein enhances neuron signaling, helps form new neural connections, and “keeps the brain young” by rejuvenating aging pathways — supporting memory, focus, mood, and sleep quality.

Following commercial success in the US, Magtein was awarded novel food approval in the EU last year, with AIDP and its…
