Measure
Magnesium, Then Placebo
In phase 1, participants received oral magnesium L-threonate for 12 weeks then crossover to placebo for 12 weeks, followed by a 2-week washout period. In phase 2, all participants received 3 days of intravenous MgSO4 in 3 daily doses totaling 30 mg/kg/day followed by oral magnesium L-threonate for 24 weeks.
Placebo, Then Magnesium
In phase 1, participants received oral placebo for 12 weeks then crossover to oral magnesium L-threonate for 12 weeks, followed by a 2-week washout period. In phase 2, all participants received 3 days of intravenous MgSO4 in 3 daily doses totaling 30 mg/kg/day followed by oral magnesium L-threonate for 24 weeks.
