I've read the threads on what supplements to give and this may be a really stupid question but....
I was going to get the magnesium liquid suggested by catatonic in the "Where do I start?" thread. It says to give 1/2 tsp in 8 oz of drink.
How do I know how many mg's that is?
My son weighs 46 pounds and I read to start low but I'm just not sure how to measure the mg's. I usually measure in tsp's.
Sorry for the stupid question. But I'm thinking of purchasing it this week along with the Child Life (I already purchased an Omega-3) and I wanted to clear up this issue.

Thanks for the thread.
However the problem is the magnesium is in liquid. So I guess I'm not sure how you would convert that to milligrams?

I think I found it. I think it says 66.5 mg per 1/2 tsps.
Thank you for looking!

Aloha,
I am new and I've been reading all the post. I am so overwhelmed that I do not know where to begin.
My son is 7 years old and weighs about 47 pounds.
He is taking 2 Gummy Vits in the morning ( I bought this at Costco).
I bought a bottle omega fish oil liquid with lemon flavor.
I bought a bottle of calcium and magnesium vitamin tablets 500 mg.
I tried to cut the magnesium tablets in half and have him chew on it. He gags on it. I gave him fish oil and he threw up everything. Now he thinks this is all bad for him.
I went back to the health store and picked up Planetary CALM CHILD and some powder magnesium. I am confused about all the different types of Magnesium.
My son likes the flaver in the calm child but I am not sure if I should continue.
Has anyone tried the fish oil in ESKIMO KIDS?
I am trying to find ways to disquise the fish oil. I was looking for some shake I could make in the morning and evening to put the fish oil and magnesium powder in. I am still searching for healthy products.
Please advise...
Mahalo Nui Loa (Thank you very much)
