If your child is wired at night, melting down after school, or struggling to focus—and you’re exhausted from trying everything—you’re not alone. Magnesium timing might seem like a small detail, but as I share in this episode, when and which magnesium you use can make a powerful difference in calming the brain first.
In this episode, you’ll learn how magnesium supports your child’s nervous system, which types help with sleep, focus, digestion, and stress—and the best time of day to take each so you actually see results.
Many parents tell me, “We tried magnesium and nothing changed.” Most of the time, the issue isn’t magnesium—it’s the wrong type or the wrong timing.
Magnesium supports 300–600 chemical processes daily, but each form works differently. If it’s not targeted to your child’s needs, you won’t feel the benefits.
Key takeaways:
Real-Life Example
A parent gives magnesium citrate at bedtime hoping for sleep—only to get tummy trouble instead. Wrong match, wrong time.
If sleep is the goal, nighttime is your sweet spot—about 30–60 minutes before bed.
Magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate help relax muscles, lower stress hormones, and ease the brain into rest mode.

This is often a game changer for kids who are tired but wired.

If focus, ADHD, or brain fog is the concern, magnesium L-threonate is my go-to. It’s the only form that crosses the blood-brain barrier, directly supporting cognition and regulation.
You can take it at night and still see next-day benefits, or use a small daytime dose for extra clarity.
Helpful tips:
For stress and anxiety, timing depends on severity.
Why it works:
Parent Scenario
A child with OCD feels calmer at school after adding a tiny daytime dose—without sedation.
For constipation, magnesium citrate is effective—but timing and hydration are key.
Best use:
⚠️ Skip citrate if your child already has loose stools.
