Is it too late for my daughter to start taking calcium supplements at the age of nine?

Patient's question:

No symptoms, just want to supplement calcium for the child to be healthier.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No symptoms
What kind of help do you need: Do you still need to supplement calcium?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, at this age, children are in a phase of physical growth and may have some calcium deficiency, so it is advisable to supplement with calcium. Foods rich in calcium include milk, eggs, pork bone soup, fish and shrimp, soybeans, radish greens, celery, and chives, among others. Additionally, vinegar can react with calcium in food to produce calcium acetate, which is both water-soluble and easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, it is recommended to add vinegar to food, such as regularly consuming sweet and sour pork ribs or sweet and sour fish.
