Can I give my child calcium supplements in summer?

Children need a lot of calcium as they grow. Calcium is a trace element essential to the human body. The food we eat in our daily life contains a lot of calcium. Children are the most susceptible to calcium deficiency among all groups of people. Because children tend to be picky eaters, it is difficult for them to supplement calcium through diet. So, how should we supplement calcium for children in summer? Let’s take a look together below.

When it comes to calcium supplementation for babies, it is best to use diet therapy. The more calcium you contain, the better it is. If the body cannot absorb it, no matter how much calcium you contain, it will be useless. First of all, we must ensure the dual absorption of calcium and vitamin D. We can ingest these two substances from our daily life. Vitamin D is found in animal foods such as sardines, sharks, animal livers, egg yolks, and cod liver oil preparations. If your children do not like to eat fish, taking Diqiao Children's Vitamin D Calcium Chewable Tablets can solve your problem! While containing high-quality calcium, it also contains 100 international units of vitamin D, allowing children to chew calcium tablets to achieve the purpose of fine absorption.

When supplementing calcium for your baby, you can choose calcium tablets that do not irritate the stomach and intestines and contain vitamin D. They are better in terms of absorption and safety. In addition to choosing calcium preparations reasonably, it is also very important to get more sun exposure, balanced nutrition, and scientific cooking. There are many foods that can be used as calcium supplements in daily life, such as milk, bean products, fish, shrimp, eggs, vegetables, etc.

Just take vitamin D. This is the same thing as cod liver oil but much cheaper. You can go to the hospital to get it. Babies do not need additional supplements if they get two hours of sun exposure every day. Breastfeeding mothers can take some calcium tablets. Calcium can be brought to the baby through breast milk, which is also good for the mother's bones. If your doctor recommends calcium supplementation during your six-month routine physical examination, then take it. Calcium cannot be supplemented casually. Too much calcium may cause hypercalcemia.
