What is a liposomal supplement?
Imagine you’re an intrepid traveller, going on a journey to a magical land…
The route is dangerous – there are wild storms, rough terrain and fire-breathing dragons along the way that could stop you in your tracks at any point.
Luckily, you happen to own a special bubble craft. This soft, flexible, almost invisible craft, disguises and protects itself from all the possible dangers ahead. The bubble craft floats smoothly through the landscape, protecting you from harm, camouflaging you from threats and allowing you to travel the route safely.
When you reach the magical land, the bubble craft passes through the magic wall, because it’s made of the same stuff, and magically, you’re exactly where you need to be!
And that’s how liposomes reach your cells (with a bit more science and a bit less magic.)
Who makes Happy Little Owls® products?
We are very glad you asked.
Happy Little Owls® products are #poweredbylipolife®. We’re a proud sub-brand of the most effective, authentic liposomal brand on the market.
Visit the lipolife website.
Researched, developed and produced at our very own HQ in the UK, our products use SAIFx® Technology. We can prove the presence of liposomes, the levels of nutrients and the quality of all our formulations, because that’s what it means to be a reputable brand and manufacturer of genuine liposomal supplements.
Plus Chip really likes looking at liposomes through a microscope.
Why does your supplement contain potassium sorbate when other liposomal supplements don't?
When it comes to formulating liposomal supplements in liquid form, there’s one unavoidable scientific reality: you cannot create a stable, safe, and effective product without using potassium sorbate — unless the product contains no water at all. Most liposomal supplements do contain a water phase. That’s just how liposomes work.
This isn’t a matter of opinion — it’s a matter of chemistry and microbiology.
Our Chief Scientist is not only a Professor of Pharmaceutics & Nanomedicine, but also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, one of the highest recognitions in the field. His expertise isn’t theoretical. It’s applied, tested and globally recognised.
So, what does that mean for those other products on the market that claim to be liposomal but “preserved naturally” or claim to not use potassium sorbate?
The answer is simple and unfortunate: they do use potassium sorbate, they just don’t tell you.
In many cases, the preservative is present under a different name, embedded in a compound or just not declared at all. That’s a serious concern when transparency and consumer safety should come first.
Happy Little Owls believe you deserve honesty. That’s why:
- Our liposomal supplements use potassium sorbate because it’s the safest, most effective option for preserving a water-based liposomal formula.
- We don’t use ethanol, which can be harsh and damaging to sensitive tissues.
- We also avoid excessive glycerol which some brands use in high quantities to mask formula instability, potentially putting your little one’s health at risk.

What is magnesium bisglycinate?
Magnesium bisglycinate is a highly absorbable, gentle form of magnesium that’s especially effective for supporting children’s emotional balance, calmness and restful sleep. It’s made by binding magnesium to glycine, an amino acid with natural calming properties which makes it uniquely suited for children who struggle with restlessness, irritability or trouble falling asleep.
Magnesium on its own plays a vital role in regulating melatonin, the hormone that controls the sleep-wake cycle. It also relaxes muscles and the nervous system, helping children wind down at night.
What sets magnesium bisglycinate apart is the glycine component, which itself promotes deep, restorative sleep by acting as a neurotransmitter that calms the brain. The result:
✔️ Easier bedtimes
✔️ Fewer wake-ups
✔️ More consistent sleep patterns
In addition, magnesium is known as the “calming mineral” because it helps regulate neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin, which influence mood and behaviour.
When children are low in magnesium, they may show signs of:
- Emotional outbursts
- Difficulty concentrating
- Anxiety or irritability
- Low stress tolerance
By replenishing magnesium in a gentle, brain-friendly form, bisglycinate can help smooth out mood swings and support emotional resilience.
Most children’s magnesium supplements have poor absorption or cause digestive discomfort. Happy Little Owls® Magnesium helps transport this magic nutrient directly into cells, helping your happy little ones feel the restorative benefits from smaller, tastier doses.
Why does my child need magnesium?
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for growing children but it’s also one of the most commonly overlooked.
Often called the “calming mineral,” magnesium supports dozens of critical functions in the body. It helps regulate everything from muscle movement to nerve signalling, energy production and even bone strength. But for children especially, one of magnesium’s most valuable roles is its impact on mood, sleep and emotional regulation.
Magnesium and Modern Kids: A Growing Gap
Despite its importance, many children today aren’t getting enough magnesium from diet alone. Highly processed foods, depleted soil and selective eating habits can all contribute to this shortfall.
Low magnesium levels can be linked to:
- Restlessness or difficulty sleeping
- Mood swings or irritability
- Trouble focusing or winding down
- Muscle cramps and growing pains
It’s not uncommon for parents to notice signs of magnesium deficiency without even realising it, especially if bedtime battles, anxious behaviour or daytime fatigue are regular occurrences.
What Makes Magnesium So Powerful for Kids?
Magnesium helps the body activate GABA, a neurotransmitter that calms the brain and supports relaxation. It also plays a direct role in managing the body’s stress response. This helps children stay balanced, focused and resilient under pressure.
For kids in school, sports or experiencing growth spurts, magnesium can make a big difference in:
- Supporting better sleep quality
- Easing night-time restlessness or leg cramps
- Promoting steady energy during the day
- Supporting calm behaviour and emotional balance
Why the Right Form Matters
Some forms of magnesium can cause digestive discomfort and some simply aren’t well absorbed. That’s why we use magnesium bisglycinate, a gentle, highly bioavailable form that’s especially well-suited to children. And when delivered via liposomal technology, absorption improves even more.
For growing children, magnesium can be a simple, science-backed way to support healthier sleep, steadier moods and more comfortable bodies, day and night. If your child struggles with restlessness, irritability, or low energy magnesium might be the missing piece of the puzzle.
Does magnesium help ADHD kids?
Magnesium may help some children with ADHD, particularly if they have a deficiency but it is not considered a primary treatment.
Research has shown that low magnesium levels are more common in children with ADHD and some small studies suggest that supplementation may reduce symptoms like hyperactivity and inattention. However, the evidence is limited and not strong enough to support magnesium as a stand-alone treatment.
Magnesium plays a role in brain function and helps regulate neurotransmitters involved in attention and behaviour. In some cases, correcting a deficiency may lead to noticeable improvements. That said, large-scale, well-controlled studies are still lacking.
If you’re considering magnesium for your child, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional. Testing magnesium levels can help determine whether supplementation is necessary.
