Previously, I was familiar with the books of Dr. Daniel Amen (he has almost a dozen of them). In his books about the human brain, Dr. Amen examines the main areas of the brain, characterizes them, tells the reader what they are responsible for, what role they play in human thinking and psyche. Dr. Amen especially focuses on problems associated with a violation of a particular system. And gives practical recommendations on how to, if not eliminate, then mitigate the identified violations. After the story about each of the parts of our brain, Dr. Amen’s recommendations follow on how to improve the functioning of this area. There are usually a dozen recommendations. But two of them are duplicated in each part of the brain: “watch your diet” and “think about trying supplements.” Having seen on the website in the new products section a line of supplements developed by Dr. Amen, I decided to definitely try it. I started with a familiar magnesium supplement. We take magnesium on a regular basis. We know its effect on ourselves and on the child. If you look at the composition, we will see that the magnesium in the supplement from Dr. Amen is presented in its three best forms for absorption. Acidic mineral compounds such as citrate and malate, which affect our muscles, joints. And also a soft ligament of the mineral - glycinate, which promotes relaxation at the level of the nervous system and regulates sleep. Important: there is no form of magnesium oxide in the composition, which indicates the quality of this magnesium option and makes it safe for children to take. There is nothing superfluous if we look at the additional ingredients of Dr. Amen's supplements. I like that they use safe xylitol as a sweetener. No sugar added! Yes, I want to note that magnesium is presented in tablets for chewing and sucking. That's why a nice citrus taste matters. The size of the tablet itself is also important for us, because this magnesium was ordered for a child. 1 tablet of magnesium from Dr. Amen contains 150 mg of minerals. An adult will need two tablets to obtain the daily dosage. In fact, this is the second option from the site that I choose for the child. I really liked the magnesium malate option from the Jigsaw Health brand. We chose it based on the size of the tablets. Typically, the tablet form of magnesium is large tablets that are completely inconvenient for children to take. But the size of magnesium tablets from Jigsaw Health (see my other reviews) will not cause problems with swallowing in a child. However, the new product from Dr. Amen is chewable tablets, which are even better and convenient for children to take. Very happy with the purchase! We plan to try other supplements from Dr. Amen, available for order on the website.
