Incorporate magnesium-rich foods into your diet to support brain health. Good dietary sources of magnesium for the brain include:

Magnesium threonate is a form of magnesium that may have potential benefits for brain health. While the evidence is limited, it is believed to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively than other forms of magnesium. Consider supplementing with magnesium threonate if you're interested in exploring its potential cognitive benefits, but do not count it towards your recommended daily magnesium intake.
If you suffer from migraines, magnesium supplementation may help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine episodes. Magnesium is believed to prevent cortical spreading depression and reduce the release of pain-transmitting chemicals in the brain.
