Move Eeez for kids. Can your child take Move Eeez? Our natural MiraLAX alternative? Yes. For a young child, I suggest a quarter or half scoop before bed, though any time of day works. Mix it into fruit juice or applesauce, then go up by a quarter scoop every day until it works. Check with your child's provider first, and if you have any questions, tap the Ask Steph button.

What's in Move Eeez
Move Eeez is a magnesium and vitamin C powder for relief of occasional constipation. Both nutrients draw water into the intestines, which softens stool and supports regular, comfortable bowel movements. It has a mild citrus flavor. One full scoop has 1,211 mg of magnesium, 1,200 mg of vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids, electrolytes and 4 mg of iron, so a child's quarter or half scoop is a fraction of that.
For adults, Move Eeez also comes as capsules. Not sure which magnesium fits your family? Read Which magnesium is right for you?
