If the homeopathic label reads 2x, 3x etc it won't have any appreciable in it. Some homeopathic products are showing up now with more normal dosing...so the term "homeopathic" can be misleading. You need to read your labels carefully.
Typically an adult should start at 1/2 the RDA in elemental, which would be just below 200mg.
An 11 yr old at 65 lbs is smaller than adult. But some 11 yr olds could use an adult dose.
The charts say for this age 240mg/day elemental. Assume about 1/2 is coming from food. So you'd start at 100 or daily.
I don't believe a TRUE homeopathic concentration of magnesium is useful at all. The molecules of the mineral have to insert into enzymes to work, and they are just NOT THERE in homeopathic products.
A person needs normal kidney functions also to supplement magnesium. You can do this with food, as some foods are high in mag. Almonds, beans for example.
Do not use magnesium oxide, as it is not appreciably absorbed.
