Anyone else worried about those magnesium gummies for kids?
Just saw this article about a warning on kids' magnesium gummies - sounds scary, but I'm not surprised. These supplements are often unregulated and loaded with sugar. Kids don't need them unless a doctor says so. Thoughts?
I read that too! I give my daughter a magnesium gummy to help her sleep, but now I'm second-guessing. The article mentioned dosing issues and potential side effects. Anyone else use these? What's your take?
Honestly, I steer clear of gummy vitamins for my kids - too much sugar and additives. I prefer getting magnesium from natural sources like spinach, nuts, and seeds. If you're worried, check with your pediatrician before giving any supplement. Better safe than sorry!
Exactly! And the article said the warning is about dosing errors - kids can easily OD on these because they taste like candy. Parents need to treat them like medicine, not treats. I bet many don't even read the label.
Thanks for the input! I'll definitely be more cautious now. Probably gonna toss the gummies and try a different approach. It's just scary how easily kids can get too much of something.
