Patient's question:
Calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, the latest ones include amino acid chelated calcium. How do children need to supplement calcium?Doctor's answer:
Nowadays, there are many varieties of calcium supplements on the market, mainly including calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, and the latest addition is amino acid chelated calcium. Amino acids are organic calcium and are the best absorbed, without any side effects. While Amway's regular calcium is plant-derived, it is still calcium carbonate. I believe that children are in their developmental stage, with a majority of organic matter. As long as they are healthy, they may not need to supplement with calcium or only need a small amount. First, poorly absorbed calcium can have side effects; second, even if it is well absorbed, it is necessary to prevent the degeneration of the body's own functions; third, excessive calcium supplementation should be avoided to prevent premature calcification of bones. During puberty, when growth is rapid, calcium supplementation is needed to keep up with the pace.
