The best time for your child to take calcium supplements is during puberty. Generally children do not need to take extra calcium supplements with a normal diet. However, if the child is in puberty, due to the higher calcium requirement, he/she can take appropriate calcium supplement, usually after meals. Generally speaking, babies in infancy do not need additional calcium supplementation because of the higher milk intake and the higher calcium ion content in dairy products. However, as the child grows older, calcium demand peaks in puberty and calcium intake is often insufficient in adolescents, so puberty is the best time for children to take calcium supplementation. Calcium is an essential nutrient for children’s physical development and is an important and indispensable element in the process of growth.
