Question
How can a 5-year-old child effectively supplement calcium? I am worried that calcium deficiency may affect my child and hope to supplement it quickly.
Answer
Supplementing calcium has a significant impact on the physical development and bone strength of a 5-year-old child. If the child does not have severe calcium deficiency, calcium can be supplemented through food. If the deficiency is more serious, medication supplementation should be considered first. Currently, it is recommended to take Balilai Children’s Four-Vitamin Calcium Tablets under the guidance of a clinical doctor, while also adopting food supplementation. Each tablet contains 10.2 mg of Vitamin B1, 0.1 mg of Vitamin B2, 2.5 mg of Vitamin C, 70 IU of Vitamin D, and 150 mg of calcium gluconate (equivalent to 13.5 mg of calcium). This helps prevent and supplement the child’s vitamin and calcium deficiencies, promoting the formation of new bone. It is recommended to take this medication under the guidance of a clinical doctor, either by mouth or after chewing.
