Question
A child of one year and seven months was found to be deficient in calcium and zinc. The parent inquired whether the Sanjing brand calcium gluconate and zinc gluconate is suitable for such a young child, and what are the effects of its use.
Answer
When addressing the question of whether a child is suitable for taking calcium gluconate and zinc gluconate, it is recommended to first reduce the intake of sugar and high-protein foods, which are acidic in nature. These should be paired with alkaline foods and carbonated drinks should be avoided. Only then should additional mineral supplements be considered. Choose products from official distributors rather than inexpensive ones sold in pharmacies to avoid potential kidney stone issues.
