Can calcium supplementation really make children grow taller?

Hello everyone, this is Dr. Du. I believe that many parents will worry about a problem, that is, what to do if their children will not grow taller in the future. Because many professions are related to height, many parents hope that their children will have an ideal height in the future. So let’s talk about the child’s height today.

Does extra calcium supplement affect your height?

The phrase "drink more milk" I believe many parents have said to their children for only one purpose, which is to supplement calcium. Of course, some parents will add extra calcium to their children, such as taking calcium tablets or other calcium-containing health products. But is this good for the height of the child? Can children really grow taller? No, proper calcium supplementation can indeed promote adolescents' bone development, but excessive calcium supplementation will result in "excessive calcium supplementation". Excessive calcium supplementation will not only prevent the child from growing taller, but also increase the burden on the child’s kidneys and increase the risk of osteoporosis, kidney stones and other diseases. Therefore, extra calcium supplementation will not make the child grow taller. If you want to grow taller, you can drink about 400ml of milk every day, exercise more, and ensure adequate sleep.

Milk is good for height

Of course, some people say that eating more will increase height. Indeed, in the past, people were poor and had nothing to eat, so many people were short and thin. But now that life is better, many people eat well and eat well, so the per capita height has gradually increased in recent years. But if you eat well, will you grow taller if you eat well?

Does excess nutrition affect height?

Not necessarily! Especially now that the conditions are good, we must pay more attention to the problem of overnutrition. Because overnutrition can lead to short stature! Children who are small and cannot absorb too much nutrition will lead to overnutrition, which will not only make the child obese, but also cause the body's sex hormones to be produced in advance. The early production of sex hormones will make the child's bones age earlier, causing the bones to begin to close prematurely. There are also parents who drink some oral liquids that supplement trace elements for their children. These oral liquids will contain some hormones, which will cause the child's sex hormones to be produced in advance and allow the child's bones to grow rapidly. This will result in the child being the tallest among his peers at the time,However, it will be shorter than the peers in the future.


So do parents know that extra calcium supplementation and overnutrition will cause the child to grow taller!
