Patient's question:
The child is a bit deficient in zinc, calcium is not particularly high, slightly underweight, and does not eat well. People have said that eating oysters can supplement zinc, but I don't know if it will cause early puberty.What kind of help is desired: I would like to use the best food therapy to supplement zinc under the guidance of a doctor.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to explain this to you. Based on the situation you described, eating raw oysters to supplement zinc is not advisable. Raw oysters should be cautious about parasites, and eating them raw is not healthy. Additionally, oysters need to be fresh and lively, which are not easy to find. There have also been reports that eating oysters can lead to early maturation, but it's hard to draw a definitive conclusion. Products like Xinxiobao are quite effective for zinc supplementation, and you can also use lean meat or fish, which also contain good amounts of zinc.
