We all know getting our kids to eat veggies is not the easiest task so one way to make sure they are getting all the fruits and veggies they need is by using a multivitamin. 

Kids Natural Calm Multi is Organic, Gluten-Free & GMO-Free.  You simply mix it with equal parts water.  It provides the following:

•  24 Organic Fruits & Veggies - made from superfruits (organic pomegranate, acai, goji and noni), fruits (apple, banana, blackberry, blueberry, cranberry, mango, orange, pineapple, raspberry, strawberry and tart cherry) and vegetables (beets, broccoli, carrot, collard greens, kale, peas, pumpkin, spinach and tomato).
• Omega-3 DHA & EPA - integral parts of cell membranes and precursors for several important cellular messengers.
• Vitamins and Minerals
• Natural Calm Magnesium
• Calcium
• Amino Acids

Calcium and Magnesium are key nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for good health to be fully maintained.  Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down.  Calcium makes muscles contract.  Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax.  You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe.

When we are under stress (and don’t think that stress applies only to adults), our cells-which in their resting state contain magnesium-go through a change.  Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state.

Think of it as an on-off switch. The “off ” is magnesium and the “on” is calcium.  But what happens to a cell that is not in balance-where the magnesium level in the body is deficient?
In simple terms, the “off ” switch doesn’t fully turn off.  That means calcium can continually leak into the cells and stimulate cell activity (the “on” switch). The result is stress, which may be accompanied by one or more of the magnesium deficiency symptoms.

Symptoms of Magnesium Depletion:

• Stress
• Fatigue & Low Energy
• Inability to Sleep
• Muscle Tension, Spasms & Cramps
• Anxiousness and Nervousness
• Irritability
• Headaches
• Weakness
• Weakening Bones
• Abnormal Heart Rhythm

Magnesium helps your child’s muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.
