NaturesPlus Animal Parade Source of Life Sugar-Free MagKidz Children's Magnesium Supplement - Natural Cherry Flavor - 90 Count (Pack of 1) - Bone & Muscle Health Support - Gluten-Free

So like most amazon shoppers I always read reviews and Q&A before buying products. And one of the first one to pop up has a comment about these using a toxic kind of magnesium. SO as suggested by the commenter, I did my research specific to his comment. 1st off we are no stranger to magnesium as my son with ADHD has taken it on and off for years and in different brands and forms and has been discussed with his Drs. Currently he has braces and other mouth appliances and can not chew gummies and he is burned out on the drinks so for us that left chewables. These mag suppliments, main source IS Magnesium is Citrate as shown on their label. Yes they contain magnesium stearate, however it is not the main source of the magnesium. MS is a (as stated in multiple sources) a very common binder in capsules in chewables. The amount used for binding is so small it is not deemed harmful. And when I started clicking through other vitamins and common pills im sure you have in your household already, sure enough magnesium stearate was in the ingredient list on all of them- Even the one that one commenter suggested as a replacement as it "does not contain this toxin." I don't know where they got their information but it is inaccurate. OK, that being said and out of the way, as stated we have used many different brands. My son takes magnesium afterschool when his ADHD meds are wearing off. We have had one that was better than the rest that was a drink but it was really sour and we had to mix it with stuff to get him to drink it everyday. He was good-natured about it but after a while, he was just like please mom can we find something else? So we tried several other but they just didn't seem to do anything (and they were not cheap!) But here we are trying again. This one I went with because it we a chewable but not a gummy. Well he loves them. Says they are like smarties and are easy for him to chew with his appliance. And I can totally see the difference with these. He's calmer and more relaxed. Easier winding down for bed. He also has anxiety so im hoping to see improvement there but these are a keeper. I actually went ahead and ordered their multi vitamin too since there are so few brands that make a multi that is not a gummy.

I was halfway hesitant to get these because some of the reviews said the taste was bad.. Well, I tasted them and they taste like a piece of candy. Not like vitamins at all. Almost like a light fruit punch flavor. They're a slight bit sour when you bite into them but nothing intense. They're totally good! My four year old likes the flavor and she is very picky about stuff.We got these to help with sleeping. That and since mostly everyone is deficient in magnesium we gave these a try. It's been two days. I have truly noticed my daughter is more relaxed after taking them, and she willingly lays down in bed. She fell asleep pretty fast both nights when I gave them. It's almost like they are a light sedative lol. Natural and powerful. I literally watched my daughters eyes close the past two nights when she normally has such trouble getting to sleep. She has still been waking up in the night( due to a current growth spurt) but I noticed how quickly she goes back to sleep since taking these vitamins. I recommend 10/10 all around. Can't wait to see in a week when they're in full splendor:)

I give these to my kids as part of their daily vitamins. They like the flavor compared to other vitamins they take.

These work wonderfully for constipation and sleep but I have to bribe my kids to take them by offering M and M candy chasers. They’re a super strange sour sweet. My four year old sleeps better than he ever has in his life. It works so much better than melatonin at KEEPING kids asleep instead of just helping him fall asleep. I’ve started taking these, too, for sleep at night and they are AMAZINGLY relaxing and stress relieving.

We give this to our kids to promote gut health and sleeping at night.

My four year old was recently diagnosed with adhd. He has behavior issues and hyperactivity . I looked into natural remedies to help him. I saw magnesium as one of the remedies. I found this brand after looking at the reviews and gave it a try. The first week he did amazing . It helped his mood, he had less emotional fits and tantrums and was even waking up later ! The first week he was waking up at 730 instead of 530 am. But unfortunately that only lasted a week. I guess he got used to taking them after such a short period of time. But they still help with his mood and behavior . I haven’t seen a serious drastic change in him compared to what it would be with him taking meds. But I have been trying anything but medication being he is so young and still a toddler. I really want to avoid putting him on meds. He’s in therapy and has a behavior therapist who does at home therapy. I definitely have seen an improvement with him but like I said after a few weeks he got used to them. But I still Continue to give him them. As it does still help a little bit which is better than nothing ! . I also started giving him multi vitamins of another brand .
