Is it helpful for girls with iron and zinc deficiency to take calcium D3 tablets?

Patient's question:

Is it helpful for girls with iron and zinc deficiency to take calcium D3 tablets?
Hair is dry and yellow. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Blood test is considered. What kind of assistance is needed: Provide suggestions. If dietary therapy is used, what should be eaten.

Doctor's answer:

Not very effective. Calcium D3 is mainly used for calcium supplementation. You can take oral iron supplements or many drugs that combine zinc and iron. However, based on your description, if your hair is dry and yellow, from a TCM perspective, the main reason is still poor spleen and stomach function, leading to absorption issues.
Recommendation: I suggest you seek TCM treatment. Find a TCM practitioner for a systematic syndrome differentiation and treatment, and take medications accordingly. Maintain appropriate physical activity, keep a positive mood, avoid greasy foods, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-protein foods, avoid wind and cold, prevent external pathogens, and maintain a good physical condition.
