Question
Is taking calcium carbonate D3 tablets effective for girls with iron and zinc deficiencies? My hair is dry and yellow. What were the previous treatment methods and their effectiveness? What kind of assistance is needed after blood tests? If dietary therapy is adopted, what should one eat?
Answer
The effectiveness is minimal; calcium carbonate D3 is primarily used for calcium supplementation. You can take iron supplements or a variety of medications that combine iron and zinc. However, based on your description, the main reason for your dry and yellow hair, according to traditional Chinese medicine, is poor digestive and spleen function, leading to absorption issues. I suggest you consider traditional Chinese medicine treatment, seeking a TCM system of differential diagnosis and treatment, using medication tailored to your symptoms. Maintain moderate physical activity, always keep your mood relaxed, avoid greasy foods, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and high-protein foods, avoid wind and cold, prevent external infections, and maintain a good physical condition.
