Does taking a lot of calcium supplements make you grow taller?

Calcium, a building block of bones, is essential, but excessive intake can actually lead to the formation of stones. For bones to grow longer, a balanced intake of not only calcium but also protein, vitamin D, and zinc, among other nutrients, is necessary.

키는 칼슘 하나로만 크지 않습니다.

  • 단백질: 뼈의 구조를 만들고 성장 호르몬의 원료가 됩니다. 소고기, 콩을 잘 챙겨 주세요.
  • 비타민 D: 칼슘 흡수를 돕습니다. 하루 30분 햇볕 쬐기가 제일 좋습니다.
  • 우유: 하루 2잔(400ml) 정도가 적당합니다. 물처럼 마시면 소화 장애나 비만을 유발할 수 있습니다.
💡 멸치

우유를 못 먹는 아이는 멸치, 뱅어포, 두부로 칼슘을 섭취하게 해주세요.
