Question
How should I supplement zinc and calcium for a 3-month-old baby? What is the recommended dosage? Are there any foods or medications that can satisfy the baby’s desire for a sweeter taste?
Answer
Supplementing zinc in the day and calcium at night can enhance the absorption and utilization of both minerals. When supplementing zinc, it should be avoided simultaneously with foods or supplements rich in calcium. Taking calcium after zinc aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium. In terms of food, animal organs, lean meat, fish, and shellfish are rich in zinc.
