Darla Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I was told that liquid form magnesium is the best form to be absorbed, however, it tastes horrible. Does anyone have any suggestions to get my son who is nine to take it? Also, I am trying Betaine HCI tablets (hydrochloric acid) to help his digestive system, but the form of tablet is to tough for him to swallow. Do they sell these for kids to take, maybe I'll purchase them if so?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi Darla have you tried the Kids Calm or regular Natural Calm versions? it's mag citrate powder that you mix in warm or cold water to create a fizzy drink. My son loves the Natural Calm raspberry flavor the ionic form of the magnesium also gets its effect going quickly. My son takes it at night and it also relaxes and promotes good sleep. we get ours cheapest at iherb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovedogs Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I buy a few different liquid cal/mag supplements. One is from Lifetime vitamins and is a cal/mag citrate supplement. The only thing you need to watch with these is the other 'stuff' they put in there. Sorbitol, dextrose, etc. So, if you are doing any elimination diets, you'd want to read the labels carefully. We used to do the Natural Calm but found he liked the liquids better. I think there were more flavor choices, LOL! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I put more than 1 TSP he can taste it, otherwise he does NOT taste it and it works great. Then when he gets home from school I will give him another drinkable yogurt (I buy DanActive) with another TSP. It works for us. My son is 7 yrs old. If you do Epsom salt baths as well, I found a site where you can buy it in bulk: https://www.saltworks.us/shop/product.asp?idProduct=675 .... it is a little cheaper.
