Hi, We use Magnesium Taurine by Cardiovascular Research. I've only found it in the Vitamin Shoppe. We use 500mg for my 10 year old.

Hi, Has he been playing video games or watching TV more than usual? Try eliminating all screen time for about a week. We use Mag Taurine, maybe you can give that instead of the Kid's Calm, because it has magnesium and taurine in one. You can open it up and add it to juice. Jane What brand of the Magnesium taurate do you use and what is the dose? We use Magnesium Taurate made by Cardiovascular Research. I have only been able to find it at the Vitamin Shoppe and online. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=CV-1206 We are currently doing 250mg in the morning, and 125 at night. In the morning I also give him calcium with it other wise his stool gets runny.

Hi, Would you mind sharing which homeopathic nasal spray you use? My son is on Flonase, and I really don't like him taking it. I've tried several natural remedies at this point but he's still very congested at night. Thanks for your help.

Hi, My son is nine, and he's about 67lbs. We use 500mg of Mag/Taurine from Cardiovascular Research. I break this up to 250mg in the morning and 250 in the evening. When I tried cutting back, I saw some of the ticcing come back. For now, I'm not going to try and cut back especially with the summer coming and the pool/chlorine issues. Hope this helps. Jane

Hi there, No, I never did try it. Right now we are doing the other supplements that people have recommended. The magnesium, zinc, calcium, Omega 3-6-9 and Niacin. I've been reading the posts regarding the Intrakid, and that sounds good. I just don't feel comfortable giving up all these supplements, and just using that one product. However, I do like the idea of giving just one thing in a liquid form. It would make things much easier. Jane

I'm the same way. I always say "I" or "we". I KNOW I'm obsessed!

My son does this as well. I'm just not sure if it's a tic or a cold. Luckily it's not too bothersome. As soon as he does something several times, I jump the gun and think it's a tic. I think I need to get a hold of myself before I loose it.

I give my son 500mg.

You can buy that paint, and tint it to any color you want. They sell pain tints in little tubes.

We had the same thing happen last spring. We painted and wallpapered his room, and the nose tic came back. But he also had more screen time, so I wasn't sure which it was. But now that you say it too, I think it was the paint more than the screen time.

Hi, My son also picks on his fingers, but I think it's more of a bad habit than a tic. I also pick at my fingers especially when I'm nervous. My husband used to bite his nails really badly when he was a kid. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's a tic or a bad habit. I'd like to think this is a bad habit.

Hi, I give him 500mg, I found that if I try to decrease it, the nose twitch comes back.

Hi, My son has the nose twitches. I would say that the magnesium taurate has the greatest benefit for us.
