Calcium supplementation for pregnant women

Patient's question:

Pregnant for more than five months, experienced one or two episodes of leg cramps, and have been undergoing examinations at Baogang Hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, nutritional supplements, health products, or medications that provide calcium will indicate the amount of calcium they contain. However, some merchants may use the term "calcium compound content" to confuse consumers. Both calcium carbonate and calcium gluconate are calcium compounds, but they have different calcium content: the former contains as high as 40% calcium, while the latter only contains 9%. Therefore, pay special attention to the calcium content when making a purchase.
