Patient's question:
The baby is now almost two years old. The doctor gave a prescription requiring the supplement of Shuangjiong Vitamin AD drops. Is Shuangjiong Vitamin AD drops the same as cod liver oil? Could someone with experience help explain this? I really can't understand what it is.Doctor's answer:
Vitamin AD drops are fish oil. There is also an issue of absorption when taking calcium; even if you take a lot, if it's not absorbed, it's useless. Taking both AD (fish oil) at the same time can help with calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Spending time in the sun also helps with calcium absorption, so it's essential to go outdoors and not just stay behind glass, as ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass. Additionally, the immature gastrointestinal system of infants can also affect absorption.
