Kids and magnesium tablets

I’ve been reading up that magnesium can be beneficial for children, particularly kids with adhd. I was going to get some magnesium tablets for my son tomorrow but is it something I should see the doctor about first? Does he need blood tests or anything before he takes them? He is 11 and has adhd. Also, any other ideas appreciated. Thankyou

Be careful taking supplements that his body may not be lacking in. Too much magnesium affects the heart , and so does too little. I am on magnesium supplements for having low magnesium.
