Magnesium Supports Kids Health

Healthy Kids Need Magnesium

Minerals are naturally occurring substances found in soil and rocks. They are essential nutrients required to carry out key functions each day for your child’s optimal health. We get minerals from our diet when we eat plant foods that have absorbed the nutrients directly from the soil. Minerals are also found in meat from plant-grazing animals.

If a growing child is deprived of any one of the important minerals, various functions may be impaired and therefore a contributing and underlying factor in many common childhood illnesses

Minerals play the following roles in Children's Health

✅ Bone and teeth health
✅ Energy production
✅ Nerve and muscle function
✅ Immune health

Minerals can be depleted in food

✅ When produce is grown in poor top soils, which are naturally low in minerals.
✅ If fruit and vegetables are not allowed to ripen on the vine; this being the critical stage when minerals are released into food.
✅ When fresh produce is stored for extended periods before it reaches the supermarket shelves.
✅ If the minerals get bound up in the chemicals stored in the top soils and not released into the food.

The body uses this important mineral to keep bones strong and the heart rhythm stable.

It plays an important role in the normal functioning of muscles, nerves and immune system. Magnesium has the ability to relax the muscles which ensures you can slip into a deep sound sleep. This mineral has the capacity for deep relaxation but also responsible for abundant energy levels too.
