Magnesium for Kids
Our KiddoCalm™ magnesium for kids offers the highest quality brain-supporting nutrition in a delicious gummy format that children actually enjoy taking. These carefully formulated gummies contain Magtein® magnesium L-threonate, the only form of magnesium shown to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and support developing minds.
Perfect for growing children who are at least 9 years old, our kids' magnesium gummies provide a convenient way to support focus, learning, and calm behavior without the struggle of pills or powders that many children resist.
What Are Magnesium L-Threonate Gummies for Kids?
Magnesium L-threonate for kids contains a specialized form of magnesium that differs significantly from common forms like magnesium citrate, oxide, or glycinate found in typical children's supplements.
While other magnesium forms excel at supporting muscle function, digestion, or general relaxation, magnesium threonate for kids (Magtein®) stands alone in its ability to effectively increase brain magnesium levels in developing minds.
Think of it this way:
- Magnesium citrate: Good for digestive support
- Magnesium glycinate: Excellent for general relaxation and sleep
- Magnesium oxide: Inexpensive but poorly absorbed
- Magnesium L-threonate for kids: Specifically targets brain health and cognitive development
Does your child struggle with focus during homework time or seem easily overwhelmed by learning activities? If so, Magnesium for kids in the L-threonate form might be exactly what their developing brain needs for optimal support.
Why Magnesium Gummies for Kids?
Magnesium gummies for kids offer a simple solution for parents whose children dislike or have difficulty swallowing traditional pills. The chewable format also allows for excellent absorption, as the active ingredients begin breaking down in your child's mouth, jumpstarting the digestive process.
All of our KiddoCalm™ gummies are:
- Vegan
- Gluten-free
- Non-GMO
- Free from artificial colors and flavors
- Made in an FDA-registered facility
Magnesium for Kids in Their Formative Years
KiddoCalm™ Magnesium L-Threonate for Kids provides the nutritional support a child needs during the most important developmental period of life:
- Supports healthy focus during learning activities and homework time
- Helps maintain calm, balanced behavior throughout the day
- Supports overall brain development during critical growth periods
- Makes getting essential nutrients enjoyable rather than a daily battle
As children's brains develop rapidly, they need the right kind of nutritional support to reach their full potential. Magnesium threonate for kids specifically targets the brain tissue where cognitive development occurs, unlike other forms that primarily support muscles or digestion.
Our kid-friendly formula contains the same high-quality Magtein® found in our adult Magtein collection, but in appropriately adjusted doses designed specifically for developing minds. We've paid careful attention to creating a clean formula free from common allergens, artificial flavors, and unnecessary fillers - because what's not in a children's supplement is just as important as what is!
How Are KiddoCalm™ Gummies Different From Other Kids' Magnesium?
The best magnesium supplements for kids stand out through their ingredients, effectiveness, and safety profile. Our KiddoCalm™ gummies excel in all three areas:
Science-Backed Formula
Unlike typical kids' magnesium supplements, our gummies contain Magtein®, a patented form of magnesium L-threonate specifically developed to support brain health and cognitive development.
What sets Magtein for kids apart is its unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, meaning it can actually reach developing brain cells where traditional magnesium supplements cannot. This allows it to support cognitive function and learning in ways that other magnesium forms simply cannot match. It also means you don't need a high dose, because, unlike other forms, the entire amount of elemental magnesium is easily absorbed.
How to Take KiddoCalm™ Magnesium Gummies for Kids
For optimal results, use as follows:
Children Ages 9+:
- Recommended dose: For ages 9-12, 2-3 gummies daily. For ages 13+, 3 gummies daily.
- Timing: Morning or early afternoon tends to work well for most children, supporting focus during school and learning activities
- Consistency: Daily use provides the most noticeable benefits, supporting brain development over time
- Supervision: Always supervise young children when taking supplements
Why Timing Matters:
Many parents find giving kids magnesium in the morning helps establish a foundation of calm focus for the school day ahead. Unlike adult formulations, Magtein for kids is designed to support alert calmness rather than grogginess or that “zombie” or “zoned-out” effect.
Most children begin showing improved focus and calmer behavior within 1-2 weeks, with more substantial cognitive and behavioral benefits developing after 6-8 weeks of consistent use. Magnesium L-threonate for kids has an excellent safety profile and is suitable for long-term daily use as part of a healthy childhood routine.

FAQs About Magnesium Supplements for Kids
Yes, our kids’ gummies are formulated to be safe for daily use by children at the appropriate dosage for their age and size. The form of magnesium used has an excellent safety profile, specifically studied for developing minds. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a pediatrician before starting children on a new regimen. You can find more detailed safety information on our FAQ page.
Many parents report improvements in both focus during learning activities and overall calm behavior throughout the day. Magnesium threonate for kids supports healthy brain function, which can manifest as improved attention during homework time and better emotional regulation during challenging situations. The specific benefits you notice may depend on your child's individual needs and development stage.
Magtein® is generally well-tolerated by children. Unlike some other forms of magnesium, it rarely causes digestive discomfort. If your child is particularly sensitive to supplements, we recommend starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing to the full recommended amount. It is also recommended to consult with a pediatrician before adding any new supplement to your child's routine. Our testimonials page and product reviews include many parents' experiences with KiddoCalm™.
The key difference is its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and reach developing brain tissue. This unique property allows magnesium levels to increase in the brain tissue itself, not just in the bloodstream. This targeted delivery makes it especially beneficial for cognitive development and learning support, while other forms may be better suited for other needs, like muscle relaxation.
