Patient's question:
Laboratory and examination results: Checked at the hospital for calcium deficiency. I also received D injections and would like to give him some vitamin D. Can they be taken together? Is it better to take calcium at night for better absorption? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Since you have already administered vitamin D injections at the hospital, there is no need to give him vitamin D orally. It is important to know that excessive intake can lead to toxicity. It is recommended to supplement calcium in the afternoon or evening, as calcium supplements are better absorbed when taken during these times. Generally, dietary calcium is considered the ideal way to supplement calcium. You can consume more soy milk and milk, as well as high-calcium vegetables, meats, and seafood. Additionally, it is advised to get more sun exposure, as sunlight also helps in the metabolism of calcium.
