Patient's question:
The baby is now 19 months old. Since birth, he has been taking fish oil and D3 alternately. At one year old, the hospital prescribed A and D, which he also took alternately. After taking them for two or three months, he only took D3. I would like to ask what would be good to take now. advdd3 Recently, the baby loves playing electronic devices. Is VA good for protecting his eyesight?Doctor's answer:
If the baby usually eats a lot of meat, eggs, and dark-colored vegetables, there is no need to supplement extra vitamin A. Otherwise, it is recommended to focus on vitamin AD. Many babies in China have significantly low levels of vitamin A in their bodies. Vitamin A plays an important role in maintaining the structure and function of epithelial cells. A lack of vitamin A can cause epithelial cells to swell, keratinize, or stop the secretion of mucus cells, while also increasing the number of lysosomes, destroying the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes, reducing the body's non-specific immune function, and thus leading to various different infections. Therefore, vitamin A is an indispensable substance in the body.
