About this listen
Magnesium salts are often marketed as if they target specific tissues - i.e., “threonate for the brain,” “glycinate for calm,” “taurate for the heart.” Part 2 breaks down what the evidence actually shows: animal studies demonstrating tissue differences that have never been replicated in humans, cognitive and sleep trials where multiple forms show benefit, and meta-analytic data indicating what really drives long-term outcomes.
The goal: clarify the real distinctions between magnesium forms, ligand effects, and dose requirements so listeners can understand what truly determines magnesium’s impact in humans.
