In this episode with neuroscientist Dr. Guosong Liu, you’ll explore his accidental discovery at MIT's Center for Learning and Memory that led him down a two-decade journey into brain magnesium, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive decline. That research ultimately resulted in the invention of Magtein® (magnesium L-threonate), a compound he engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier in a way other magnesium forms cannot, with clinical trials showing a reversal of nine years of cognitive decline, measurable shifts in sleep architecture, stress reduction in as little as three days, and meaningful improvements in prefrontal cortex function at just 140 milligrams per day. Dr. Liu also shares what his current Alzheimer's prevention research looks like.

Dr. Liu is a world-renowned neuroscientist whose pioneering research on brain magnesium has transformed our understanding of cognitive function and synaptic plasticity. With more than 25 years of neuroscience expertise, he previously served on the faculty at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, founded the Center for Learning and Memory at Tsinghua University, and earned his Ph.D. in Neurophysiology from UCLA. His translational research has bridged laboratory discovery and human clinical application, resulting in multiple trials demonstrating Magtein's efficacy in supporting cognitive performance.

Magtein is the patented, clinically studied form of magnesium L-threonate designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and support memory, focus, mood, sleep quality, and stress resilience. Featured in more than 400 products across 40-plus countries, it is the global standard in brain-support magnesium nutrition.
