magnesium/product question

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone - I hope you're having a good weekend!

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this for their child:

<http://www.bayercare.com/htm/philsoftchew.htm>

It's a chocolate chew thing that provides 500mg of magnesium

hydroxide. It says it's for ages 12 and up, but since it's only

slightly more magnesium than in just one teaspoon of milk of magnesia

- I wonder why it's not recommended for younger children - ? The

reason I ask is that my daughter can detect milk of magnesia/Natural

Calm/whatever in ANYTHING and it sounds like that is the case for

some others here too; I just thought this might be an easier way to

get them to take magnesium - ? (I know there are a few other yucky

ingredients in there, but it can't be as bad as Miralax, which we are

just about to resort to) :-/

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Kind regards,

- Vicki
