Do I need to take vitamin D supplements in addition to taking Diquiao Children’s Calcium Tablets?

Taking D-Cal Kids Calcium Tablets typically does not require additional vitamin D supplementation.

D-Cal Kids Calcium Tablets are generally suitable for children aged two years and older up to puberty for calcium supplementation. These tablets are a compound formulation, with calcium carbonate as the primary active ingredient. Each tablet contains 750 mg of calcium carbonate, equivalent to 300 mg of elemental calcium, along with 100 IU of vitamin D₃.

However, the amount of vitamin D₃ included in each tablet is insufficient to meet children’s requirements for growth and development. Therefore, during treatment, it is recommended that children increase their sun exposure to naturally boost vitamin D levels. Additionally, they should consume more vitamin D–rich foods or take supplemental oral vitamin D₃ to enhance calcium absorption.
