Is it useful for children to eat AD calcium regularly

Children who frequently consume AD calcium milk usually do not have additional calcium supplementation effects, and excessive intake may affect normal dietary balance. AD calcium milk mainly contains vitamin A, vitamin D, and a small amount of calcium. Its actual calcium content is much lower than milk, and adding sugar may increase the risk of dental caries.

AD calcium milk, as a mixed milk beverage, has limited advertised calcium supplementation effects. Every 100 milliliters of AD calcium milk contains about 60 milligrams of calcium, which is only about half the calcium content of pure milk. The daily calcium requirement for children is 800-1200 milligrams, which cannot be met solely by such beverages. The added vitamin D helps with calcium absorption, but it can be synthesized in sufficient amounts by daily exposure to sunlight. Long term excessive consumption may lead to excessive sugar intake, affecting appetite for meals and hindering balanced nutrient intake. Children with weaker digestive function may experience lactose intolerance, leading to bloating and diarrhea after drinking. Children who are allergic to milk protein should avoid consuming it. Commercial AD calcium milk often contains food additives, and long-term consumption by infants and young children may increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys. During the critical period of growth and development, natural foods should be prioritized for calcium supplementation, such as drinking 300-500 milliliters of pure milk per day, paired with calcium rich foods such as soy products and dark green vegetables.

It is recommended that parents use natural dairy products as the main source of calcium for children and control the consumption of AD calcium milk to no more than 2-3 times a week. Cultivate balanced eating habits in children, ensuring comprehensive intake of meat, eggs, milk, grains, fruits and vegetables. If there are obvious symptoms of calcium deficiency such as leg cramps at night and delayed tooth extraction, regular calcium supplements should be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid relying on nutrient fortified drinks.
