These publications concern the studied ingredients or formulas. They do not all evaluate the finished Doctor Life product, and research results do not guarantee individual outcomes.

In a 30-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 109 healthy adults, a magnesium L-threonate-based formula was associated with improvements in selected measures of cognitive function. The study tested a combination with additional ingredients, not the finished Doctor Life product. It nevertheless supports the rationale for a formula focused on everyday mental performance.

A randomized trial in adults with self-reported sleep problems evaluated magnesium L-threonate for sleep and daytime functioning. The favorable changes observed help explain the interest in this form for people who want to connect better rest at night with better functioning during the day.

In a six-week study of 100 adults taking 2 g of magnesium L-threonate daily, favorable differences were reported in overall cognitive performance, working and episodic memory, and reaction time. The study evaluated the ingredient on its own. It supports the rationale for selecting that ingredient, not a guarantee of results from the finished product.

This preclinical study helped explain why increasing magnesium availability in the brain became a focus of learning and memory research. The findings did not come from human studies, but they provide a mechanistic foundation for later clinical trials of magnesium L-threonate.
