Introduction
What calcium supplements can patients with pigeon chest (pectus carinatum) take? Patients with pigeon chest may take organic calcium supplements. Unlike inorganic calcium supplements, organic calcium supplements are less likely to cause urinary tract stones. These supplements are suitable for a broad population—including children, adolescents, and the elderly—due to their high bioavailability, minimal side effects, proven efficacy, and cost-effectiveness; thus, they are appropriate for managing pigeon chest. Additionally, enhanced nutrition and regular physical exercise are recommended.
