Mothers always worry about the baby’s health, found that some of the baby “pillow baldness”, too little to eat, not fat, it is associated with a lack of zinc and calcium is not my baby? Or the mother with the idea of prevention, so that the child to make up first. In order to facilitate the effort, some mothers will choose calcium and zinc composite preparations, is calcium and zinc with supplementation will really be better? This is the first time that you have to take a look at this practice. If you are still in the mistake of taking calcium and zinc supplements together, you should read the following 4 articles: 1. Calcium and zinc should not be supplemented indiscriminately, balanced nutrition and outdoor exercise are more important for your baby’s growth. 2. 2, nutrient composite preparations are not recommended for children to use, such as calcium composite preparations. 3, calcium and zinc are 2-valent elements, in the body need to be combined with the carrier transported to the whole body absorption. The number of carriers is limited and usually in balance. When calcium and zinc enter the body at the same time, compete with each other for carriers, resulting in lack of minerals can not be well absorbed. Lack of vitamin D does not necessarily lack of calcium, complex preparations may cause excessive absorption of a substance. 4, through the dietary supplement to the older months of the baby supplement nutrients. For example, often eat egg yolk, lean meat, pork liver, fish, sesame, etc. is conducive to supplementing zinc; want to get more calcium, then you can eat tofu, shrimp, etc. (of course, all of these foods should be in accordance with the complementary age of the months to feed). 5, if the baby is deficient in both calcium and zinc, need to supplement additional nutrients, it is recommended that these two nutrients separate supplement. For example, zinc supplementation during the day, calcium supplementation at night, the absorption effect will be better. Supplementation of zinc and then give the child calcium, will be more conducive to the absorption, deposition and utilization of calcium. And calcium absorption is generally related to vitamin A and vitamin D, and zinc directly affects the metabolism of vitamin A, and assist the role of vitamin D on the absorption of calcium, therefore, the first zinc supplementation can achieve twice the result with half the effort of calcium supplementation.
