Patient's question:
Please let me know if it's good for a 24-year-old adult to drink infant formula milk. I previously tried adult milk powder but it had no effect, so now I've switched to infant formula milk. I don't know if there are any drawbacks. I'm a bit calcium deficient... Can I fully absorb the nutrients from the milk powder?Doctor's answer:
Adults only need to take calcium supplements to get calcium, as it can be digested through food. There is no need for specialized digestion; any nutrient will have a small amount of depletion, and what we can eliminate is very limited. As long as you eat more calcium-rich foods regularly, it can also have a good effect on calcium supplementation. Of course, adults drinking it is not a problem either, but it is not necessary. It's just a bit of extravagance and waste.
