Question
Can a 2-year-old baby consume glucose and cod liver oil to supplement calcium?
Answer
Although the supplements you mentioned contain only a small amount of calcium, they can be used for prevention, but they are not sufficient for treating calcium deficiency. If a child is diagnosed with severe calcium deficiency, active calcium supplementation is needed, with 600 to 800 milligrams of calcium to be supplemented daily. Additionally, increasing the intake of calcium-rich foods, such as meats and legumes, can also help strengthen the baby’s constitution.
