Question
At seven years old, when a child is changing teeth, can they take calcium and zinc supplements simultaneously? What should be paid attention to in terms of diet, and what appropriate supplement methods should be followed?
Answer
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to supplement calcium and zinc at the same time, as they may interfere with each other’s absorption. It is suggested to wait at least two hours before supplementing with the other, or you can start with zinc supplementation to promote the growth and regeneration of the child’s bone cells, laying a good foundation for calcium absorption.
