Vitakruid Magnesium juniorMagnesium in food
Food supplements are intended to supplement a balanced diet. A wide range of foods contain the essential mineral magnesium. In addition to nuts, seeds, and kernels, spinach, avocados, bananas, and raw cocoa are also rich sources of this mineral.
Growing children
Children are still growing rapidly, and it is essential to get the right vitamins and minerals. A good start to supporting a healthy lifestyle is, for example, Multi Day & Night Junior®, which contains all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and omegas for your growing child.
Magnesium takes up a lot of space, which means that only a small amount is found in a multivitamin. Supplementing magnesium can, therefore, be a good addition to a multi. That is why we have created a magnesium supplement especially for children.
Magnesium with good absorption
The body absorbs organic forms of magnesium such as taurate, bisglycinate, and malate best. In our daily diet, we mainly find so-called inorganic bound magnesium that is less bioavailable to the body, such as magnesium chloride, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium sulfate.
Strong bond
Taurate, bisglycinate, and malate are the organic forms of magnesium with the highest bioavailability. These are the so-called amino acid-chelated forms. Here, there is a very strong bond (chelation) between magnesium and the amino acid, allowing it to enter our intestines as a complete element. Amino acid-chelated forms are therefore better absorbed and cause fewer stomach and intestinal problems than other forms of magnesium.
Binding with malic acid
For the Magnesium Junior chewable tablets, we have chosen magnesium malate. This is a compound of magnesium and malic acid. Malic acid plays an important role in the citric acid cycle, which is important for energy metabolism. Due to its binding to malic acid, this form of magnesium also naturally has a pleasant taste. Malate is therefore the ideal choice for children.
Approved by test panel
If a supplement has an unpleasant taste, there is a good chance that your child will not take it. That is why Magnesium Junior has been extensively tested by children between 2 and 12 years old. The highly critical test panel has therefore been an important part of the development process of the chewable tablets.
Magnesium Junior comes in a cheerful bear shape, has a pleasant raspberry flavor, and is sweetened with natural sweeteners. The chewable tablets are free from unnecessary additives such as colorings, fragrances, flavorings, or preservatives. This means that not only the children are enthusiastic about Magnesium Junior, but also the parents!
Easy to dose
Dosing the Magnesium Junior chewable tablets is easy. For children between 1 and 6 years old, 1 tablet per day is recommended, for children between 6 and 12 years old 2 tablets, and for children aged 12 and over 3 tablets. Is your child still too young for a chewable tablet? Crush the supplement and mix it with your child's favorite drink.
