ATAMg® for brain and cognitive functions
This structural analogy with the 2 main excitatory neurotransmitters enables it to modulate neuro-excitation and, ultimately, synaptic plasticity.
Through this mechanism, ATA Mg® can prevent or relieve all related disorders (cognitive decline, mood swings, stress, anxiety, headaches, migraines, head trauma, epilepsy,…
ATA Mg® relieves the symptoms of premenstrual syndrom
• Stress, anxiety
• Nervous tension, Mood swings, Irritability
• Depression
• Fatigue, Insomnia
• Headache
• Breast tenderness
• Abdominal bloating
Memory and concentration
A decrease in magnesium concentration is observed in the brain during the ageing process, leading to altered neuronal excitability, reduced synaptic transmission and impaired cognition.
ATA Mg® increases synaptic density and may play a beneficial role in memory and learning processes [1].
The effectiveness of ATA Mg® in relieving menstrual migraines and PMS symptoms has been demonstrated in patients.
CLINICAL CASE: ATA Mg® reduces menstrual migraine episodes
The efficacy of ATA Mg® was studied in a 27-year-old woman who had been prone to migraine attacks since the age of 17.
This patient received 2×350 mg of ATA Mg® per day for 2 months, combined with a few dietary rules.
This clinical case demonstrated that ATA Mg® can reduce menstrual migraine attacks,
but also mood disorders, stress, anxiety and breast pain [2].
CLINICAL STUDY: Action of ATA Mg® on premenstrual syndrome
The efficacy of ATA Mg® was evaluated on 20 PMS symptoms in 19 women aged between 18 and 45 years.
The study showed that 770 mg of ATA Mg® induced a statistically significant decrease in all studied symptoms of PMS after the third menstrual cycle [3].

Magnesium bisglycinate is formed from elemental magnesium and the amino acid glycine.
Animal studies suggest that glycine on its own can help improve sleep and treat some inflammatory conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. But more robust studies are needed to further support this (25Trusted Source, 26Trusted Source).
Magnesium glycinate is easily absorbed and may have calming properties. It may help reduce mental health issues, such as: (1Trusted Source)
Magnesium glycinate is often used for its calming effects to treat anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

-Magnesium Malate
Magnesium malate includes malic acid, which occurs naturally in foods like fruit and wine. This acid has a sour taste and is often added to food to add flavor or acidity.
Research suggests that magnesium malate is very well absorbed in your digestive tract, making it a great option for replenishing your magnesium levels (15Trusted Source).
Some people report that it’s gentler on your system and may have a less laxative effect than other types. This may be beneficial, depending on your specific needs.
Magnesium malate is occasionally recommended to treat fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms. But while some studies have found there may be benefits, more high quality studies are needed (16Trusted Source).
Magnesium malate is easily absorbed and may have less of a laxative effect than other forms. It’s occasionally recommended for chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.

-Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate is a form of magnesium that’s bound with citric acid.
This acid is found naturally in citrus fruits, giving them their tart, sour flavor.
Magnesium citrate is one of the more common magnesium supplement formulations and can be purchased in stores worldwide.
A small study of 14 male participants suggests that this type is among the most bioavailable forms of magnesium, meaning it’s more easily absorbed in your digestive tract than other forms (4Trusted Source).
It’s typically taken orally to replenish low magnesium levels. Due to its natural laxative effect, it’s also sometimes used at higher doses to treat constipation.
It’s occasionally marketed as a calming agent to help relieve symptoms associated with depression and anxiety and due to its bioavailability for muscle tissues (5Trusted Source).
Magnesium citrate is one of the most popular types of magnesium supplements and easily absorbed by your body. It’s mainly used to raise magnesium levels, treat constipation and due to its bioavailability for muscle tissues.
