Magnesium and Kids

Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in our bodies. It aids us with mood, sleep, concentration and energy levels, teeth and bone health, immune system, and absorption of other nutrients like vitamin D and calcium.

If your child is deficient in magnesium, you will notice low energy levels, poor sleep and concentration or constipation. If your child gets regular muscle cramps, doesn’t sleep well and is generally tired, you may want to check them with your doctor (and consider including a magnesium supplement in their diet).

It’s certainly a concern for any parent, especially those with school-aged kids who need to focus at school and have demanding schedules with after-school activities.

One of the most common reasons for magnesium deficiency in kids is that they struggle to get enough of this mineral through their diet, especially those who are picky eaters.

Children with hectic lives can show magnesium deficiency even more so as their bodies use all available magnesium to respond to stress.

Hundreds of body processes need magnesium; if children lack it, it affects their life considerably. Supplementing with magnesium can bridge that gap and help their developing bodies function correctly during the day and when they sleep.

Magnesium can aid with better sleep and energy levels, improve mood and concentration and help with bone and teeth health, healthy muscle, and other various benefits.

Childlife Essentials Liquid Calcium and Magnesium was specifically developed to support children’s bone and teeth health. However, it has other helpers that facilitate its absorption, like Vitamin D and Magnesium. These vitamins ensure the body receives calcium well and stays balanced.
