Review: My little boy has a chronic tic syndrome and recently he's been constantly plagued by tics, little hums and sighs. I knew that many people with Tourettes recommend supplementary magnesium, and I also knew that my son refuses to eat enough magnesium rich foods (nuts, seeds, beans and green leafy vegetables) for optimal magnesium intake, but was wary about giving him a supplement. After many months of transdermal magnesium spray with questionable benefit I bit the bullet and ordered this - and I'm very glad I did! Firstly I should say that I looked up the National Institute of Health guidance on maximum daily oral supplementary magnesium for children (over and above diet). 1-3years : 80mg, 4-8 years : 130mg, 9-13years 240mg. I gave him the appropriate amount which was easy to do from this preparation since each 5ml spoonful is approx 60mg. I chose this one because it has no artificial colours or flavours (which worsen my son's tics), and I trust the brand. I'm not going to lie, the taste is very strong. Like sour mango. My 8 year old son hated the taste at first but accepts that it is helping him and has got used to the taste. He drinks water immediately afterwards and follows with a square of chocolate (blatant bribery) and that's how we got round that. My husband LOVES the taste. I find it strong but can put up with it. That explains the differing Amazon reviews on taste! The other thing you should know is that 250mg is a big bottle if you're using it only for a very young child -and you must keep it in the fridge after opening and use within 4 weeks, as it has no preservatives in it. Some folk might think that is expensive so you should be told that. It's worth it for us. Did it work? Well we think there's been a huge difference in our son's tics. I hesitate because the nature of his condition means it waxes and wanes and perhaps it's all coincidence. He's been on it 3 weeks, and whilst at first I didn't see any difference, after 2 weeks I thought he seemed less ticcy, and this last week he has been so much better, suddenly much better than he has been for 6 months. Even I have hardly noticed the tics this weekend, when just before he started the magnesium he was like a little constantly chirupping bird. As I say, it could be coincidence but I'm hoping we've found something that's helping him. But one thing I'm absolutely sure that it's helped with is his sleep. Children with tic disorders often struggle to sleep especially when their tics are bad, they feel restless and ticcy, struggle to relax their bodies, even more so when tired. At least that's the case with our son. But from the first day we gave him the Floradix magnesium he was calm and relaxed that night, fell asleep easily which has continued to be the case. We started him on a half dose for the first 10 days, and on increasing to full dose, again saw a significant improvement in his ability to relax to sleep. He now puts his book down and lies down to go to sleep, asleep in minutes; this is a huge difference for him who has struggled at night for many years. If all the magnesium did was improve going to sleep and relaxation it is still more than worth it for us, especially as tics are worse in tired children. But actually in the last few days his tics are very noticeably much better than a couple of weeks ago - or even than in the last few months. I think it's the magnesium, so I'm back to order more. If I change my mind about if this magnesium is helping the tics over the next few months, I will edit this review for all the other worried parents of chronically ticcing children. I know this is a long review, but I also know how hard it is to be looking for something to help your child when the NHS sadly has very little to help this condition, and how much I personally appreciate it when parents give me all the details if they think something is helping! Hang on in there fellow parents of ticcy children, I know it's hard. I hope we all find solutions.

Review: My 6 yo daughter suddenly developed tics during first phase of lockdown. She had no history of it or any other chronic illnesses in the past. I read somewhere that magnesium might help so I purchased this product and gave it to her (not regularly). It took sometime and we did see a noticeable difference in her tics before they completely disappeared. Now I do not know if it was because of the magnesium syrup or that lockdown eased and children returned to school. Now that she in school she has developed another type of tic (vocal) and I am purchasing another bottle of it to see if it helps this time around. Her paed doctor's have done extensive tests and nothing has shown. The syrup tastes ok. Very citrusy but that's okay and obvious considering all the fruit used to make it.
