Each gummy gives your child just 35mg of elemental **Magnesium** from magnesium citrate — a well-absorbed form, but a very small dose. For kids ages 4-8, the recommended daily intake is around 130mg, meaning one gummy covers roughly a quarter of that. For older children (9-13), who need closer to 240mg, it covers even less.
The citrate form is a positive here — your child's body can actually absorb what's in the gummy, and it's gentle on the stomach. But with "Calm" in the name, you'd reasonably expect meaningful relaxation or sleep support, and the research on magnesium for those benefits uses doses several times higher than what's in a single gummy.
The biggest gap is the dose. At 35mg per serving, you'd need 3-4 gummies daily just to approach the basic recommended intake for a young child — and the label suggests only one. If your child needs real magnesium support for sleep or calm, this falls well short of the studied range.
