Magnesium and vitamin B6 ease hyperexcitability in children

A group of French investigators studied 50 hyperexcitable children, whose symptoms included instability, aggressivenes, inattention at school, and “twitchiness.” Over 50% of the children had low blood levels of magnesium. All the children were given magnesium and Vitamin B-6 supplements, and in all of them, symptoms of hyperexcitability were reduced after one to six months.
