Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Wow, your daughter is pretty clever. I might consider giving my 9 yr old nt son magnesium to help him sleep- he's been having a hard time lately falling asleep and if he doesn't get his 12 hours (literally) he's a zombie the next day. When you give magnesium, do you also have to give calcium with it, to help it absorb, or something like that?? Thanks. Amber.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 No, just magnesium. I give her zinc and calcium both separately, although you use magnesium to absorb calcium so it can be given together to help absorb the calcium (but then more separately to get in magnesium, I think).
