【Children’s Height Growth】 The 5 Biggest Calcium Supplement Mistakes!

by JessieWong 04 Oct 2024

Calcium is crucial for children’s bone development, but many parents often fall into common traps when it comes to calcium supplementation, which can prevent their child from getting the desired results. Let’s explore the five most common calcium supplementation mistakes and how to avoid them, ensuring your child gets the right nutrients for optimal growth.

Why Is Calcium Important?

Bone Development: 

Calcium is the main building block for bones. Children need plenty of it to ensure their bones grow strong and healthy, particularly during their golden growth periods.


Teeth Strength: 

Adequate calcium helps in the formation of strong teeth, preventing issues like cavities and tooth decay.


Muscle Function: 

Calcium plays a key role in muscle contraction. Without it, muscles (including the heart) wouldn’t function properly.


Nerve Transmission: 

Calcium supports the communication between nerves, ensuring that signals are sent smoothly throughout the body.

The Five Common Calcium Supplementation Mistakes

Mistake 1: Drinking Bone Broth for Calcium


Bone broth contains a lot of water and fat but very little calcium. While a cup of milk contains about 250 mg of calcium, bone broth has only around 5 mg. In addition, long-simmered bone broth releases purines, which are not suitable for children with high uric acid or gout.

Mistake 2: The Longer the Sun Exposure, the Better


Sun exposure helps promote vitamin D synthesis, which is essential for calcium absorption, but too much sun isn’t always better. Experts recommend exposing the face and hands to direct sunlight for 30-60 minutes a day. Sunbathing through a window does not work as well—outdoor exposure is best.

Mistake 3: More Calcium is Better


Many parents believe that more calcium equals better bone health, but the body only requires a certain amount. Children need about 1,200 mg of calcium daily. Excessive calcium intake can strain the kidneys and lead to issues like kidney stones and cardiovascular risks. Always follow medical advice on calcium intake.

Mistake 4: Bone Spurs Indicate Healthy Bones


Bone spurs are not a sign of healthy bones; in fact, they are a symptom of aging bones. Proper bone health should be assessed through medical tests for osteoporosis, rather than relying on bone spurs as an indicator.

Mistake 5: Calcium Alone Can Prevent Osteoporosis


Calcium needs to be paired with vitamin D for proper absorption. For those diagnosed with osteoporosis, additional treatments under medical guidance are necessary—calcium alone cannot solve the problem.
