We started using this product in hopes that it would help eliminate my 4 year old daughter’s nightmares and it works! Her sleep is now more restful and her behavior during the day has improved because she’s not so exhausted. I HIGHLY recommend this product if you have a child with anxiety, sensory issues, frequent nightmares or trouble sleeping for any reason. I’m so thankful someone recommended this to me!Also, it can be a little sour (which my son loves) but my daughter prefers 1/2tsp of coconut sugar mixed in with it. She says it tastes like lemonade.

This stuff is recommended by my son's doctor for adjunct medical therapy for ADHD. I really feel like it helps calm him- not enough alone without prescription meds, but it's a great addition. He takes 1 tsp twice a day. It's very sour, but he takes it like a champ just mixed in a little bit of applesauce. We found that trying to drink it down mixed up with water or juice took longer and prolonged that sour taste, so he prefers to just eat a few spoonfuls of sour applesauce instead! One of my other sons (not ADHD, but anxiety) takes it in orange juice and doesn't complain about the sour flavor. I again think it helps him slightly, but it's not a miracle or anything. It does seem to help him relax at night and fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer.

The Customer Service Agent explained that the powder cannot be taken in capsules since the magnesium carbonate & citric acid need the water to create ionic magnesium citrate. (Same info. is also on the label.) Adding another liquid afterward is allowed. Since it is very sour to my 8-year old, I added up to 1 tsp. of castor sugar to the mixed & dissolved 1/2 tsp. of Calm Kid and 3 oz. of water to get my child to drink at least half; however, still under protest even with added water. I just added equal parts of the directed mixture & apple juice, which made it more acceptable & did NOT add the sugar. I tasted it & the magnesium citrate may be too much for my taste as well. Taking it before going to school is necessary, but I am concerned that it might upset my child's stomach. It was taken with breakfast; no complaints of stomach upset after 1-hour. I am happy to report that it does help my child focus & concentrate on math & reading at home without causing headaches and/or drowsiness.Update: I had to reduce her dose to 1/8 of the above mixed amount & then mixed that 1/8 in her apple juice & water. It worked in 30 minutes & lasted for about 8 hours. Also, she had to take it before 9am or it seemed to cause some anxiety at bedtime or the krill for kids may have been the culprit. Both have been stopped because we needed to identify the anxiety cause. She is back on prescription meds for now.

Ive noticed a huge difference before bed with my toddler. She sleeps so well and we have our routine of having her drink her 'pink drink" before bed. Very effective . She loves the taste and ingredients seem to be good. I even started using it before bed and love it. Very easy to mix in water. Highly recommend.

I'm not sure if it worked or not. I think my son thought it worked, so it helped. The taste was not great. I always had to mix with juice.

My kids ask for this every night! They love the taste & I love that it has so many benefits!

I really like it for my kids. It does it's job. Sometimes it needs to build up and sometimes it doesn't. With my son it worked the same night. He used to get really bad night terrors almost nightly. When he started using this the frequency went WAY down. We also made some other lifestyle changes that helped in the long run. Give it a chance. Go through a jar and if you don't notice a difference then don't buy it again.

My child cannot stand the taste. This is not eligible for refunds, so it's a total waste of money.
