Patient's question:
6 A 15.5-year-old girl is 96 cm tall and weighs 28 pounds. She has been taking Duowang's calcium and vitamin D, but now it's said that calcium mineral salt cannot be given to children under 3 years old?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Others collected oyster calcium. How about this? Or other types of calcium supplements? What kind of assistance is needed: Is there no need to supplement calcium anymore? She has stopped taking fish oil.
Doctor's answer:
Calcium supplements: It is best to choose those containing calcium carbonate (such as calcium gluconate oral solution) while taking vitamin AD fish oil drops. Taking fish oil with calcium supplements can effectively enhance calcium absorption. For babies aged 0-6 months, the daily calcium requirement is 400 mg; for babies aged 6-12 months, the daily need is 600 mg. Sunlight exposure is a natural calcium supplement. The main source of vitamin D in the human body is a substance called 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin, which can be converted into vitamin D3 after being exposed to ultraviolet rays in sunlight, thereby improving the absorption of calcium in the intestines.
