Grow taller and self-check 👉 first, don't give your child ineffective calcium supplements
When children grow rapidly during the growth period, the consumption of calcium will increase, and if the amount of calcium in the diet is insufficient and the absorption is not good, it will cause "poor growth"

How to 💡 assess your child's calcium deficiency
1 Dietary calcium assessment: through the estimation of dietary calcium intake over a certain period of time and compared to the recommended intake. It is a convenient and accurate method for families who want to test on a daily basis.
2 Serum calcium test: The human blood calcium level is strictly regulated by the body, and the blood calcium level only decreases or rises 〽️ slightly when there is extreme calcium deficiency or short-term large calcium intake
3 Urine calcium measurement: For children in the rapid growth phase, because calcium intake is mostly utilized, urinary calcium levels are difficult to reflect the nutritional status of calcium.
4. Bone density test: Regular examination of bone mineral density can understand the status of children's bone mineral content, and early intervention can be carried out to avoid the impact of children's growth and development.
