Question
Which calcium supplement is better for children? Are there any calcium supplements for children? If so, which one is the best? Could a pediatrician friend help recommend how to supplement calcium for a child? I haven’t supplemented calcium for my child much, but now it seems they are deficient, so I need to supplement.
Answer
You can take Yike Xin Vitamin AD drops and Gailide Compound Calcium Carbonate Granules, which are quite effective. Calcium and vitamin D must be supplemented simultaneously, as vitamin D is the carrier for calcium ions to be absorbed by the body. Without vitamin D, no matter how much calcium there is, it will not be absorbed. Calcium tablets contain vitamin D, which significantly increases the body’s ability to absorb calcium ions.
