According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), deficiency of this critical mineral is more prevalent among children who suffer from ADHD.
In turn, magnesium supplementation has been found to ease hyperactive behaviour and increase focus and attention, enabling children to concentrate better and think more clearly.
EFSA determined that ‘a cause-and-effect relationship has been established between the dietary intake of magnesium and contribution to normal psychological functions’.
EFSA Article 13 refers to magnesium as supporting bone health, healthy teeth and normal psychological function while reducing tiredness and fatigue.
“Anlit is committed to providing healthy-yet-tasty supplement solutions in a child-friendly format, to support optimal growth in children,” said Shai Karlinski, vice president of sales and marketing for Anlit. “Kids are more sensitive than adults to the appearance and texture of food and supplements. While adults can rationalise the necessity of taking supplements that might be unappealing in appearance, taste or texture, children are not bound by such considerations; they like flavoursome products that are smooth, soft and easy to chew.”
