Cognitein is a unique combination of Magtein (magnesium L-threonate), L-taurine and L-theanine designed to help support healthy cognitive function. Magtein has been shown to support healthy levels of magnesium in the brain and functional neuronal terminals.* Magtein is a patented and clinically studied ingredient shown to support cognitive function and healthy brain aging. L-taurine is an abundant amino acid in the human body but taurine levels typically decrease with age. New studies show that taurine may play a major role in supporting the brain when exposed to toxic chemicals from water supplies and other environmental sources. L-theanine helps with activity in the alpha-1 frequency band of resting brain activity, which indicates that it relaxes the mind without inducing drowsiness. An increase in the activity of alpha-bands also appears important for suppressing distracting visual information during demanding tasks.
