NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement containing the L-threonate form of magnesium (Mg) that can
be used to normalize Mg levels in the body. Upon administration, Mg is utilized by
the body for many biochemical functions and reactions including: bone and muscle function,
protein and fatty acid formation, activation of B vitamins, blood clotting, insulin
secretion, and ATP formation. Mg also serves as a catalyst for many enzymes throughout
the body. In addition, magnesium improves the functioning of the immune system by
enhancing the expression of natural killer activating receptor NKG2D in cytotoxic
T-lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. This increases their anti-viral and anti-tumor
cytotoxic effects.;
