Every mother wants her baby to be healthy, grow and develop correctly. To do this, we try to provide the baby with proper care, a varied diet, physical activity, walks in the fresh air … But that's not all!

As the child grows and develops, his physical activity also grows. This means that the load on the musculoskeletal system increases. For the normal formation of the skeleton and bones, teeth and muscle tissue, the growing body simply needs calcium. And this need is growing from year to year.

We will tell you how to properly provide your child with the necessary amount of calcium and how a deficiency of this important macronutrient can be dangerous.

What is the danger of calcium deficiency in children?

Often parents of children over 3 years old observe the following picture: the child quickly gets tired, is capricious, does not want to go to kindergarten or school, and his legs hurt! Familiar situation?

The lack of calcium in the body may be to blame.

Can I get enough calcium and vitamin D3 from food? Unfortunately, certain difficulties can arise with this.

The daily requirement for calcium in children from one to three years old is 800 mg, and from three years to seven - 900 mg.¹ And if the body does not receive this dose along with food, then it begins to take the missing supply of calcium from the bones. And this, over time, can lead to poor posture, and in more advanced cases, to fragility and fragility of bone tissue. But even in the early stages, calcium deficiency is very dangerous with negative consequences.

The most common signs of calcium deficiency in children are:

- late teething;

- early caries of milk teeth;

- growth retardation;

- violation of posture.

To avoid these problems, we try to diversify the children's menu and include healthy products in it.

But is it possible to get enough calcium and vitamin D3 from food? Unfortunately, certain difficulties can arise with this.

Eating foods with calcium and vitamin D3

According to the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, only 50% of children consume a sufficient amount of milk and dairy products, which contain the greatest amount of calcium.² After all, in order for calcium to be sufficient, the child needs to consume almost 1 liter of milk every day, or 600-800 g of cottage cheese, or about 3-4 jars of baby yogurt or cottage cheese enriched with calcium.

Calcium-containing foods alone are not enough to get the optimal daily intake of calcium. Where is the exit?

In order for calcium to be absorbed completely, it is necessary to introduce enough vitamin D3 into the diet - without it, about 10-15% of calcium is absorbed from food.³ This "sunshine vitamin" is difficult to obtain from food, it is mainly synthesized in the skin under the influence of the sun. For example, in order to get the daily intake of vitamin D in the autumn-winter period, you need to eat about 300 g of fatty fish every day.

Some manufacturers of baby yoghurts or curds enrich their products with calcium. This is a great way to replenish your baby's calcium stores every day! However, pay attention to their composition, because for baby food it is especially important that only natural dairy products are used in the production, without preservatives, dyes and flavors. Also, keep in mind that excess carbohydrates, starch and sugar can lead to weight gain in your child.

It turns out that calcium-containing products alone are not enough to obtain the optimal daily dose of calcium. Where is the exit?

How to choose the right calcium supplement for your child?

An additional source of calcium can be a drug. At the same time, it is very important to take a responsible approach to the choice of calcium supplements for your baby!

Some mothers buy vitamin and mineral complexes for their children. But most often they do not think about the fact that calcium in such complexes is contained in small amounts. Therefore, it is better to take calcium separately and always with vitamin D3, since it is in this combination that calcium is much better absorbed.

Finding the optimal solution is not difficult at all. Complivit Calcium D3 for Babies is the only calcium and vitamin D3 preparation created specifically for small children from birth.
