Why Should I Take Magnesium Pidolate?
Magnesium pidolate is a very unique magnesium salt, and we’ve been hunting for a reliable source for many years. Recently, we finally found a reliable source, and we couldn’t be more excited! Magnesium pidolate is the magnesium salt of pyroglutamic acid (also referred to as pidolic acid, hence the name, magnesium pidolate). Not only does pyroglutamic acid help magnesium absorb better, it also produces significant nootropic effects. Due to this, we are very excited to offer magnesium pidolate since most of us take a magnesium supplement for its nootropic effects. Previously, the only real option for a more nootropic form of magnesium was Magtein which for many years was peerless. However, we think magnesium pidolate performs very strongly too, and thus for the first time in a long time, Magtein has some serious competition!

What is Magnesium Pidolate?

Magnesium pidolate is a magnesium salt that is formed by binding pyroglutamic acid to magnesium. Pyroglutamic acid is a unique amino acid derivative that closely resembles the structure and activity of some of the first nootropics that were ever discovered by Corneliu E. Giurgea. Interestingly though, pyroglutamic acid is a naturally occurring compound that we produce endogenously! On top of that, when magnesium is bound to pyroglutamic acid, we see an uptick in bioavailability, and an increased ability to reach the brain. Thus, it is not surprising that magnesium pidolate is the primary form of magnesium used in research looking at how magnesium can positively affect headaches. In our opinion, this makes it one of the most exciting forms of magnesium from a nootropics standpoint!

Nootropic Magnesium

We need plenty of magnesium to keep our bodies and brains functioning at their peak. In fact, magnesium plays a major role in hundreds of different processes throughout the body, from stabilizing ATP, to modulating the function of NMDA receptors. So, we are already starting with a highly nootropic mineral, that has then been made even more nootropic by combining it with one of our bodies own nootropic compounds, pyroglutamic acid! Just taking these two separately would produce an interesting nootropic effect, but by binding them together, the nootropic effects get taken to new heights. This is primarily due to pyroglutamic acid helping to transport magnesium to the brain. By helping to transport more magnesium to the brain, magnesium pidolate can also produce significant pain management effects, which can be especially helpful for pain that originates from the head area.
