Kids Magnesium Gummies with Vitamin D3 and B6, Ages 4+

One strawberry gummy a day for children aged four and over, giving 75mg of magnesium as magnesium citrate, 2.5µg of vitamin D3 and 0.35mg of vitamin B6. Thirty gummies to a bottle, which is a month. Vegan, chewed rather than swallowed whole, no declared allergens.

Wellgard Kids Magnesium Gummies are a food supplement for children aged four and over, one gummy a day, giving 75mg of magnesium, a fifth of an adult's daily reference intake, with vitamin D3 and B6. Taken as directed, that sits within what a child of that age can have on top of a normal diet. If your child takes medication or has a medical condition, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.

Four and over, with no upper age on it: the same one gummy a day suits a four-year-old and an eleven-year-old. It is a soft gummy that must be chewed rather than swallowed whole, which is why it is not for younger children. Give it while you are there rather than on the way out of the door.

75mg, which is 20% of the adult daily reference intake, as magnesium citrate. One gummy a day is the direction; give that amount and no more. If a child eats several at once, the most likely effect is a loose stomach; if you're worried, call NHS 111.

One a day, at whatever time becomes a habit. Most parents give it with breakfast, and the box asks for it preferably with food. If the evening suits your house better, give it with the evening meal and before the last brush, never after; it's a sugar gummy, and milk teeth don't want it overnight.

Yes. One gummy a day is how Kids Magnesium Gummies are meant to be taken, at the same time each day so it becomes routine. Don't exceed one.

The NHS's standing supplement advice for children is vitamin D, 10µg a day for young children, and it expects magnesium to come from food. A magnesium supplement is a parent's choice rather than a recommendation. One Kids Magnesium gummy gives 75mg of magnesium on top of what's on the plate, and 2.5µg of vitamin D3, a quarter of that 10µg, so it adds vitamin D rather than replacing a vitamin D drop.

Kids Magnesium Gummies use magnesium citrate, giving 75mg of elemental magnesium per gummy. Whatever the form, the elemental figure is the one to compare, and most children's gummies on the UK shelf sit between 60mg and 120mg.

Wholegrains, nuts, seeds, beans, green vegetables, bananas and dairy. Most children get what they need from those, which is why the gummy is a top-up rather than the main source.

The gummy itself: sucrose, glucose, pectin, citric acid, ascorbic acid, sodium citrate, a tocopherol-rich extract, strawberry flavouring, coconut oil, carnauba wax and black carrot juice for the colour. No botanicals and nothing else active; the full list is under Read the Box.

Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. If you have a concern about your child's sleep, behaviour or attention, your GP is the right first call.

Yes: 2.5µg of vitamin D3 per gummy, 50% of the adult reference intake. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to the normal function of the immune system. Count it alongside any other vitamin D your child takes.

Magnesium citrate here, giving 75mg of elemental magnesium per gummy. The elemental figure is the one to compare between products; the citrate weight is larger and means less.

Yes. Sucrose and glucose are the first two ingredients, which is what makes a gummy a gummy; one a day, and a toothbrush afterwards.

It's a chewed, sugar-based gummy, so treat it like anything else chewed: one a day, ideally with a meal rather than last thing at night, and brush as normal. It isn't a sweet to be grazed on, and it lives out of reach.

Yes, vegan; the gelling agent is pectin, not gelatine, and the colour is black carrot juice. No declared allergens.

They're made for Wellgard, a UK brand, in a facility certified to BRCGS (food safety), ISO 9001 (quality management) and IFS (international food standard), the audit schemes supermarket suppliers work to. Every ingredient is on the pack and under Read the Box.

Food first: wholegrains, nuts, seeds, beans, green vegetables, bananas and dairy carry it, and most children get what they need from those. A magnesium supplement is a top-up and a parent's choice rather than a recommendation. If your child eats a narrow diet, that is the conversation to have with your GP or a dietitian.

They can, but they're dosed for children; an adult wanting magnesium would be better served by Wellgard's adult magnesium range.

Check the multivitamin's label for vitamin D and B6 and add the two together; Kids Magnesium adds 2.5µg of D3 and 0.35mg of B6. If the totals worry you, ask a pharmacist.

Strawberry, from natural flavouring, coloured with black carrot juice.

One gummy a day is the direction. An extra one or two on a single occasion is unlikely to do more than upset a stomach; a whole bottle is a reason to call NHS 111. Keep them out of sight and reach.

Thirty gummies, one a day, a month's supply. Subscribe and Save takes 15% off every order and sends the next bottle before the last gummy goes; pause, skip or cancel in your account.

Wellgard refunds the bottle within thirty days, opened or not, under its published refund terms.

Compare three things: the elemental magnesium per gummy (Kids Magnesium gives 75mg), what else is in it (vitamin D3 and B6 here; many carry magnesium alone), and what each nutrient contributes to. The rest is flavour and price.

The adult gummies are a different formula and dose. Kids Magnesium is 75mg of magnesium with vitamin D3 and B6, one a day, for children aged four and over.
