What happens if children take too much calcium tablets?

Now that the weather is getting colder, children cannot go outdoors to do much exercise, so calcium supplementation becomes a very urgent matter for children. Now that the temperature has dropped, the body's absorption and utilization of calcium have begun to increase. It is a very good thing to supplement calcium at this time, and it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So what problems will arise if children are given excessive calcium supplements? Let’s take a look at what will happen if children eat too much calcium supplements and how to supplement calcium.

Not all calcium will be absorbed, and the calcium absorption rate is very low. Give your baby more water. Be sure not to take vitamin D, as it will be excreted from the body through natural excretion. Be sure to put the medicine away in the future, or explain the dosage and time of taking the medicine when going out, so as to avoid such a thing happening again.

Children are in the growth and development period, and the calcium intake from food alone is far from meeting the body's needs. Therefore, in addition to normal food, they need additional calcium supplements. The daily calcium supplement amount is 50%-60% of the calcium required by children in the above age groups. The best way to supplement calcium is to take both dietary and medicinal supplements. In your daily diet, you should eat more peanuts, spinach, soybeans, fish, kelp, bone soup, walnuts, shrimp, seaweed and other foods to supplement calcium. Studies have shown that the liver has high permeability, and most of the toxic substances in the blood will enter the liver. Therefore, the content of toxic substances in animal livers is several times higher than that in muscles. In addition, animal livers contain special binding proteins that have a high affinity for poisons. They can snatch poisons that have been bound to proteins in the blood and store them in liver cells for a long time, which has a great impact on health. In fact, by eating only a small amount of animal liver, you can obtain a large amount of vitamin A and store it in the liver. Generally speaking, infants under one year old need 1,300 international units of vitamin A per day, and children aged one to five years old need 1,500 international units per day, which is equivalent to eating about 12 to 15 grams of animal liver per day.

It is very necessary for children to supplement calcium during infancy and adolescence, but excessive calcium supplementation or repeated calcium supplementation will result in large amounts of various vitamin D supplementation, which will affect the child's appetite and may also cause anorexia, bloating or constipation. Therefore, it is important to note that calcium supplementation should not be excessive.
