Magnesium

[Gwern Branwen]

I recently ordered and received "Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium
L-Threonate with Calcium and Vitamin D3 (205g)"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006P57AFM/ ; LEF product page:
https://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item01602/Neuro-Mag-Magnesium-L-Threonate-with-Calcium-and-Vitamin-D3.htm

I know some mailing list members are fans of magnesium. I can't use
this near bedtime because of the vitamin D it contains*, but besides
that, does anyone have suggestions on what I could test?

* vitamin D substantially damages my sleep, see

Blood pressure, anxiety level, memory. Sorry for the short reply.

Don't have any way of measuring that.

For magnesium?

That's more doable via Mnemosyne... I worry, though, that Mnemosyne
performance (avg score of cards viewed each day) focuses more on
retrieval efficacy than storage or encoding, and that might be where
magnesium would exert effects.

Quantified-mind.com has some pretty good memory storage/retrieval tests.
