Question
Which supplement can promote calcium absorption? I have a nearly five-year-old child who often sweats during deep sleep, a problem he has had since birth. We have taken him to see doctors and received some treatments, but the sweating still persists. I would like to know how I can assist him, and what dosage of Longmu Fortifying Bone Granules you suggest?
Answer
Based on your description, excessive sweating in children may not necessarily be due to a calcium deficiency. Excessive sweating could be related to the child’s constitution being weak. For children between two and seven years old, it is recommended to take 7 grams of Longmu Fortifying Bone Granules three times a day. Personally, I suggest that if the child sweats a lot, he can take Yuping Feng Powder, which is quite effective. Additionally, calcium supplementation should be accompanied by the intake of Vitamin D3 to ensure effective calcium absorption. It is recommended to use D3; the effect of cod liver oil is not significant. In daily life, it is important to have the child consume high-calcium foods such as milk, beans, fish, and shrimp, and also expose them to sunlight to promote calcium absorption. It is important to note that sunlight should not be blocked by glass; direct skin contact with sunlight is necessary. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish your child good health!
