Question
How should children take calcium and cod liver oil? Can you give me some advice and suggestions? I’m interested in assistance for a one-and-a-half-year-old child on how to take calcium and cod liver oil.
Answer
Before supplementing calcium and cod liver oil for infants, parents need to understand why it’s necessary to supplement calcium for their children, as well as when and how to correctly supplement calcium. The human body contains a variety of minerals, with the highest content being calcium. Calcium is the main component of bones and teeth, and a deficiency can lead to delayed tooth growth and development or softening of the bones. In severe cases, it may even result in osteomalacia or bow legs or knock knees. Additionally, calcium is involved in nerve conduction, muscle activity, blood clotting, and metabolism processes.
