When to take fish oil?

Patient's question:

Does the baby have less hair, is it due to calcium deficiency? When should fish oil be supplemented, and how should the dosage be given? When should calcium be supplemented, and how? What kind of assistance is needed: specifically regarding dosage, especially for calcium supplementation, does the baby need it at this time? How should it be supplemented? Is it necessary to supplement every day...

Doctor's answer:

Hair loss is not necessarily due to calcium deficiency; it is often caused by excessive sleep. Advice: Generally, after the age of one, it is no longer necessary. Fish liver oil contains vitamins A and D, and vitamin D helps in the absorption and metabolism of calcium, as well as promoting bone fibrosis. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to vitamin D deficiency rickets. The duration of consumption should be determined based on the child's physical growth and development. Fish liver oil with a vitamin A to D ratio lower than 3:4 is prone to vitamin A toxicity with long-term use. For specific consumption methods, please refer to the product instructions or follow medical advice.
Survival care: Exposing oneself to sunlight can also prevent the recurrence of rickets.
