Question
My baby is almost two years old, and the doctor has prescribed Double Whale Vitamin AD Drops for supplementation. Are Double Whale Vitamin AD Drops the same as fish liver oil? I hope someone with experience can provide an answer, as I’m not very familiar with this.
Answer
Vitamin AD drops are the same as fish liver oil. When supplementing calcium, not only the amount of intake but also absorption is important; consuming more does not help if it’s not absorbed. Additionally, supplementing with Vitamin AD (fish liver oil) aids in calcium absorption and prevents rickets. Exposing to sunlight also helps in calcium absorption, but it must be outdoors, as ultraviolet rays cannot pass through glass. Moreover, since a baby’s gastrointestinal system is not yet fully developed, this can also affect absorption.
