if you can’t turn off your brain when you’re  trying to sleep try some calcium it’s great  

for kids any age teenagers in fact i use calcium  a lot with my kids great for fevers and no matter  

what they come down with as far as an infection  calcium just seems to work like a charm  

for kids you just give them 50 milligrams i i  recommend calcium lactate it’s a non-dairy great  

calcium good absorption it’s you give it to them  right before before they go to bed but if you’re  

deficient in calcium you’re not going to be able  to sleep as well it can also create muscle cramps  

that can keep you up at night but the biggest  thing it can actually create a racing mine where  

you just can’t turn it off but also if you’re  deficient in b1 that can also create the same  

symptom but calcium is needed to allow you to get  into rem sleep it’s also needed to make melatonin  

and so if you have any of these symptoms including  a racing mind as you’re trying to go to sleep  

one thing you might want to try is some  calcium lactate i would recommend about  

100 milligrams right before bed and i think  you’ll notice a nice change now that being said  

i want to mention something about calcium  because i don’t really recommend taking  

a lot of calcium for a long period of time simply  because calcium tends to accumulate in the body it  

doesn’t you don’t get rid of it as easily as other  nutrients like magnesium or actually potassium  

so there’s certain nutrients that that your  body has a difficult time getting rid of  

calcium iron are two big ones and so because  calcium doesn’t get eliminated very easily and  

as we get older a lot of people have calcium  buildup in their joints and their arteries  

on their eye and their kidneys and all over  the place and so unless you have a need for  

calcium i probably would not recommend it  as a supplement especially if you’re taking  

like a thousand milligrams of calcium carbonate  every day to because you’re post-menopausal i  

don’t recommend that because it increases your  risk of heart attacks but for the most part  

try to get your calcium from food unless you have  certain symptoms that you need to take some extra
