Question

How should one choose appropriate zinc and calcium supplements for a three-month-old baby, and what are the recommended dosages?

Answer

It is suggested to supplement zinc during the day and calcium at night to facilitate the absorption and utilization of these nutrients. When taking zinc supplements, avoid consuming calcium-rich foods or supplements such as milk and shrimp shells simultaneously to enhance zinc absorption. Supplementing with calcium after zinc can help with the absorption and utilization of calcium. Additionally, it is important to obtain calcium and zinc from food sources such as animal organs, lean meat, fish, and shellfish.
