Children's Mental Health - Magnesium and Vitamin D are powerful combo.

Could nutrient deficiency make your child more vulnerable to ADHD?

There is growing evidence that many children are not getting the nutrients they need from their diet.

A recent study helps paint a picture of how children may be suffering needlessly. A study published in 2021 in the journal BMC Pediatrics looked at the role of both Magnesium and Vitamin D in the prevention of ADHD.

The study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, and randomized look at 66 children who had been diagnosed with ADHD. Half of the children were given Vitamin D and Magnesium supplements for 8 weeks and half of the children were given a placebo.

Compared to the control group, the children who were given supplements of these two crucial nutrients had considerable improvement in their mental and behavioral health. The study found that those children who supplemented Vitamin D and Magnesium had 28% fewer emotional problems and 31% fewer problems with their peers as indicated by questionnaires completed by their parents both before the trial and after.

The researchers also observed that the supplementation was effective at raising the blood levels of both Vitamin D and Magnesium. No side effects were observed.

With nearly 10% of children estimated to be affected by ADHD, maybe it's time parents consider getting Magnesium to the Rescue and Vitamin D to the Rescue for their children. There is a great liquid Vitamin D to the Rescue option for children who aren't able to swallow capsules.
