What causes calcium deficiency in newborns?

Calcium deficiency in newborns is not a trivial matter because it will affect their normal health. The main reason for calcium deficiency in newborns is that pregnant mothers did not pay attention to calcium supplementation when they were in the womb, or that the newborns were affected by diarrhea or hepatitis.

1. Calcium deficiency in infants is mainly due to insufficient calcium intake by their mothers during pregnancy, or too little calcium in breast milk; calcium deficiency in toddlers, school-age children, and adolescents is mainly due to unreasonable diet and too little intake of calcium-containing foods.

2. The main reasons for reduced absorption are intestinal calcium absorption disorders caused by vitamin D synthesis disorders; in addition, it is affected by diseases such as diarrhea, hepatitis, gastritis, frequent vomiting, etc., which lead to poor calcium absorption or a large amount of calcium loss.

3. Increased consumption refers to an increase in the body's demand for calcium. For example, during infancy and adolescence, bones grow rapidly, bone calcium is deposited in large quantities, and blood calcium concentration decreases. During pregnancy, a large amount of calcium is transported to the fetus through the placenta, leading to the mother's own calcium deficiency, etc.

4. If the baby is deficient in calcium, it must be supplemented in time to avoid affecting the child's physical health. The most important thing in choosing calcium supplements is safety, non-irritation, and high absorption and utilization rate to ensure that the baby's health is not affected. Immune casein is a new compound produced by the reaction of casein ions in milk with calcium ions using modern biotechnology. It has the dual functions of supplementing calcium and protein, while improving the absorption and utilization of calcium ions. The human body absorption rate is as high as over 92%.
