Kids Magnesium Liquid Drops — For Bedtime, Not Battle Time

The nine o'clock standoff — one more glass of water, one more chapter — is often not defiance. Some children genuinely do not wind down easily, and magnesium is the mineral most closely tied to how the nervous system settles at night.

What is in it

• Magnesium citrate and glycinate — glycinate is the form that does not pull at the gut.
• Vitamin D3 — most children are low on it, and it travels with magnesium.
• Zinc — at a level that does not compete with the magnesium.

How it is given

Drops into water, milk or juice about an hour before bed. It dissolves clear and tastes of almost nothing, which is the entire trick.

Who it is for

Ages 3 and up. Dosing by body weight is on the label. If your child is on any prescription medicine, check with your paediatrician before starting.
