- FOR THE AFTER-SCHOOL STRETCH — The hours between the school run and dinner, when homework, activities and tiredness all land at once. One stick a day supports a calm, balanced mood through the routine rather than at one fixed time of day.
- TART AND MINERAL, NOT SWEET — A straight answer on the taste before you buy: this is sharper and more mineral than a sweet lemonade. Stir one stick into cold water, or blend it into a smoothie, yogurt or juice if your child prefers it hidden.
- MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE WITH L-THEANINE — Magnesium here is bisglycinate, a chelated form, paired with L-theanine and a botanical blend of saffron, holy basil and rosemary. Read the Supplement Facts panel in the images for the full list and the amount per stick.
- ACACIA FIBER BASE, NO ADDED SUGAR — Built on a prebiotic fiber base rather than a sugar base, with no added sugar. One stick is one serving, so there is nothing to measure and nothing to scoop.
- 30 STICKS, AGES 4 AND UP — One stick a day, straight from the pack or stirred in. Sugar-free, vegan friendly, vegetarian friendly and no gluten. Travels flat in a bag or a lunchbox. If your child is under the care of a doctor, check with them before starting.

Taste needs work
I really had hope for these but the taste is so sour and gross. I poured the contents straight in my mouth and then afterwards my teeth were coated with sticky clumps. I had to pick it out of my teeth. The taste needs work to be something I’d ever buy again.

High quality and tasty. My house is peaceful,
These have made a huge change in the daily rhythm of our household. My kids seem to be calmer and more focused which pleases me immensely. The taste is so so good. My kids actually enjoy their morning treats.

Must have for school aged kids
Package came fast, good amount of product. The sticks are easy to take on the go. It has a light taste not overpowering. It works pretty good with my child, 1 stick and they seem in a more productive state and actually focus.

Taste and smell not great
Smells strongly and does not taste good. My 5 yr old refused to try as is and tried to mix in juice and it tasted and smelled horrible. Not tasteless

Wish he liked the taste betterWish he liked the taste better
I got this JoySpring Think Dust Kids Magnesium Saffron Supplement for my adhd sensory seeking 6 year old. We have had luck with just L-Theanine before but I wanted to give saffron a try. He hated it mixed into a drink, but actually liked it just eating the powder. We tried it for a while but I didn’t notice too much of a difference. And after a coup of weeks he refused it. I think it would have continued to help if he kept taking it.

Drink taste isn’t bad, hard to dissolve, unsure if this works as well as marketedDrink taste isn’t bad, hard to dissolve, unsure if this works as well as marketed
This is a tasty drink mix that seems to help improve focus a little bit. With the ingredient list, I expected this to taste very grass-like, but that’s not the case. Our child thought the taste was good, the citric acid gives it a good taste, but it’s not distinctly lemonade. The xylitol taste is very distinct – love it or hate it, it’s there.The mix is easy to use, but it does not dissolve well in water. It took a lot of stirring to get all of it into solution without solid material at the bottom. There were no usual side effects when we tested this product, which is good – but results may vary with xylitol, especially if you or your child are sensitive to it. I tried a packet before bedtime, and it did not affect my sleep.The big question: Does it work? It’s a maybe. We did not notice much difference when we tried this product. While we did not have negative effects, we did not see many positive effects, either. I did have more vivid dreams the night I took this before bed as a test, so I think something was at work, but that could be scary if your child is prone to nightmares.It’s a little expensive to test, I wish this was sold in a smaller pack so you could try it with your family, but the price is in line with what we’d expect to pay per dose. I don’t have anything stopping recommendation, but at $30 for the pack, it’s hard to recommend without hesitation.

Tastes like an airborne tabletTastes like an airborne tablet
Sadly, I wasn’t impressed with these. I don’t know if you’ve ever tasted the airborne tablets, but that’s what these reminded me off. They weren’t very good at all. They also didn’t mix very well. The flavor, while not that great, wasn’t too overwhelming though. So it may work just fine for others, and I don’t remember there being much of a smell either. So that’s a plus. As far as effectiveness goes, I can’t say that I noticed an improvement in my focus either.
