“Kathleen is super energetic and incredibly spirited. She is such a happy girl who really just smiles and is incredibly curious and adventurous. She loves the water and especially bath time, but hates having her nails cut. She is happiest when she is outside playing with the dogs and the plants in the garden and, much like her dad, loves to dance when she hears any music,” says her mom.

As a family they love going on daily walks around the Maritzburg College premises where they live. They enjoy bumping into other families who live there, plus it’s a great way to wind down from the day and spend time together.

“There is so much to love about being a mom. I love watching her reach her milestones and slowly become her own person - she has developed this amazing little personality in just over a year. As she becomes more independent I love watching her explore and discover the world around her, and every day I am so grateful that I get to be her mom. It’s been an amazing journey and it has only just started,” concludes Laura.

Revive Your Life with AquaMAG AquaMAG™ is a multi-mineral supplement that contains calcium and magnesium to the ratio 1:3, which is critical for the optimum absorption of magnesium.

Calcium and Magnesium are both a factor in the maintenance of general good health.

In addition, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is also added to AquaMAG™ to further optimise the absorption of minerals.

benefits to the human body and aids in the absorption of all minerals.

Another great advantage of AquaMAG™ is its liquid form. As a liquid, no additional fillers and binding agents are needed as with tablets or capsules. The liquid is evenly distributed throughout the digestive system that makes the minerals much more bioavailable, thus further improve absorption.

“I’ve had intense behavioural problems with my son for the last two years (he’s now eight). Over the last year, it’s only intensified, to a point that I was considering boarding school, because he was out of control, and I physically couldn’t handle him anymore.

Benefits of Magnesium and Calcium: ENERGY: Contributes to normal energyyielding metabolism, normal electrolyte balance and reduction in tiredness and fatigue.

MUSCLE: Contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and plays a role in the process of cell division and tissue formation.

NERVOUS SYSTEM: Contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological function.

DIGESTIVE: Helps to metabolise carbohydrates, fats and proteins and contributes to normal protein synthesis.

BONE HEALTH: Contributes to the development - especially in children - and maintenance of healthy bone and teeth.

Flavoured AquaMAG is available at DisChem, pharmacies and health shops countrywide.

Below is a testimonial from an AquaMAG customer:

In February I saw your ad in a kids’ magazine, and researched more on the importance of magnesium. I decided to give it a try, as I was interested in the effects it could have on improving anxiety and frustration. Fast forward two weeks - I have a new child!

I’m speechless at his transformation! He is such a pleasure to be around again (apart from the expected eight-year-old gripes).

Outbursts and unreasonable behaviour are almost zero! He’s happy, tolerant and so much calmer. His words to me: “I feel less angry, and feel like I can control myself.”

In addition to AquaMAG, he takes Mentat and Krill Oil Omegas. However, I’m confident to say, that AquaMAG has been the defining supplement. He was on the two other supplements for a period of time, before introducing AquaMAG, and I didn’t notice a drastic change. I noticed the almost AquaMAG™ contains Magnesium Chloride immediate change after the introduction of from a natural source that includes trace AquaMAG. minerals, which improve absorption.

Testimonial: “I now know and wholeheartedly believe that I can achieve absolutely anything!

Before, I lacked the confidence to even leave my front door. Despite many barriers placed before me, life coaching has taught me that a barrier isn’t a full stop, but rather a learning curve and a couple of extra steps to move around and keep on going. I can’t thank you enough for saving me. Before I met you, I was merely existing. I’m alive now and actually living!” - Rhonda (who lost 14kg in eight weeks).
