As a parent of two energetic kids (5 and 7), bedtime used to be a nightly battle until we discovered these magnesium gummies. The orange flavor is surprisingly pleasant - my kids actually ask for their "sleepy vitamins" now!
The real magic happens about 15-20 minutes after taking them. My usually bouncing-off-the-walls son visibly relaxes, and both kids fall asleep faster than with melatonin (without next-day grogginess). We've gone from 1-2 hour bedtime routines to lights out in 30 minutes flat.
I appreciate the clean ingredients - no artificial colors, sugar-free with xylitol, and that bone-supporting calcium + magnesium combo. The gummies do have a slight gritty texture that might bother sensory-sensitive kids, but mine don't seem to notice.
Unexpected bonus? I started taking them myself during a stressful work period. Two gummies and I'm yawning within half an hour - way gentler than sleep aids but just as effective. The chamomile/L-theanine blend creates this natural "wind down" effect without feeling drugged.
Only con: The medicine-y aftertaste mentioned by some reviewers is faint but noticeable if you're sensitive. We solved this by having the kids drink water afterward. At about $0.33 per serving, these deliver way more value than the melatonin gummies we used before.
Final verdict? A pediatrician-approved, kid-friendly sleep solution that actually works - for both restless children and stressed adults. Our family's new bedtime essential.
