Patient's question:
Hello! I am 6 months pregnant now. Recently, I've been feeling lower back pain, and last night my calf muscle even cramped. Is it caused by calcium deficiency? If so, I've already been taking calcium supplements since I was 5 months pregnant, taking one Luye calcium tablet every day, so how could I still be deficient? What should I do now? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Spend more time in the sun and eat more bone broth and lean fish soup. Additionally, drinking milk is the safest and most effective way to supplement calcium. Milk is very rich in calcium, with up to 100–110 milligrams of calcium per 100 grams of milk. Moreover, this calcium is natural milk calcium, which is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Besides, taking supplements is better than eating healthily.
