Vitakruid Magnesium junior
Magnesium in food
Nutritional 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 cacao are also rich sources of this mineral.

Growing children
Children are still growing and getting the right vitamins and minerals is essential. A good start in supporting a healthy lifestyle is, for example, the Multi Day & Night Junior®, which contains all the necessary vitamins, minerals and omegas for your growing child.

Magnesium takes up a lot of space, so there is only a small amount 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 magnesium forms 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 connection
Taurate, bisglycinate and malate are the organic magnesium forms with the highest bioavailability. These are the so-called amino acid chelated forms. There is a very strong bond (chelation) between magnesium and the amino acid, so that it ends up in 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
We have chosen magnesium malate for the Magnesium Junior chewable tablets. This is a compound between magnesium and malic acid. Malic acid plays an important role in the citric acid cycle, which is important for energy metabolism. Due to the binding to malic acid, this form of magnesium also has a naturally pleasant taste. Malate is therefore the ideal choice for children.

Approved by test panel
If a supplement has a bad taste, chances are your child won't take it. That is why the Magnesium Junior has been extensively tested by children between the ages of 2 and 12. 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 colours, odors, flavors 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 simple. For children between 1 and 6 years, 1 tablet per day is recommended, for children between 6 and 12 years 2 tablets and for children from 12 years 3 tablets. Is your child still too young for a chewable tablet? Then mash the supplement and mix it with your child's favorite drink.
