What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial explores whether Magnesium Choline Citrate, a dietary supplement, can enhance memory, focus, and attention in healthy teens and adults while reducing anxiety. Participants will take either the supplement or a placebo for 84 days to observe any changes in cognitive function and anxiety levels. Ideal participants are generally healthy individuals who have noticed issues with memory, focus, or attention and are willing to maintain their current lifestyle during the trial.

As an unphased trial, this study provides participants the chance to contribute to scientific understanding and potentially experience personal cognitive benefits.

Is there any evidence suggesting that Magnesium Choline Citrate is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that Magnesium Choline Citrate is generally safe for people. In one study, participants received a high dose of 2000 mg per kilogram, experiencing no serious side effects over 14 days. Another study, lasting 90 days, tested doses of 100, 350, and 1000 mg per kilogram per day, with no deaths or severe side effects reported.

These findings suggest that Magnesium Choline Citrate is safe, with no major negative effects observed at various doses. As this trial involves healthy teenagers and adults, the treatment is expected to be similarly well-tolerated.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Unlike the standard treatments for cognitive function, which often focus on stimulating neurotransmitter activity or improving blood flow, Magnesium Choline Citrate introduces a unique approach by combining magnesium and choline. This combination targets cognitive health by potentially enhancing neuronal communication and supporting brain cell membrane integrity. Researchers are excited about this treatment because magnesium is known for its role in neuroprotection, while choline is essential for producing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory and learning. By addressing these foundational aspects of brain health, Magnesium Choline Citrate offers a novel potential advantage over existing options.

What evidence suggests that Magnesium Choline Citrate might be an effective treatment for cognitive function?

Research has shown that magnesium plays a crucial role in brain health and cognitive function. Studies have found that magnesium supplements can enhance memory and thinking skills by increasing magnesium levels in the brain. Additionally, choline, a component of Magnesium Choline Citrate, is associated with improved brain health. Higher choline intake correlates with a reduced risk of memory problems in aging individuals. This trial will test Magnesium Choline Citrate, which may support brain function by improving magnesium absorption and promoting brain health. Participants in this trial will receive either Magnesium Choline Citrate or a placebo.678910
