All About Supplements for Children

Hi hi!


My DS hasn't been drinking FM nor fresh milk since he weaned off BM when he was 2.5yo. He's 4yo now. He doesn't like to drink milk at all.

Any calcium supplements recommended?

Wonderful that your DS has not drank milk filled with hormones, antibotics & pathogens. No, he does not need calcium supplements. In fact, no one should take them. This just out: \"A recent study published in the journal Heart found that people who took calcium supplements regularly had an 86 percent greater risk of having a heart attack,\". Read the article:

This is a good guide to calcium sources:

But I would recommend skipping oat & orange juice (eat the orange instead).

I try sambucol on my kids. Hmm… Sadly it doesn’t work for my kids. So I rely on manuka honey!


When I think they r gg to fall sick, I give aloe vero drink mix with honey.

Hi yeng, just wondering if you have ever encountered missing parcels from iHerb? My order was shipped out on 23 Aug and I have yet to receive it to date!

Should fish oil be taken in the morning or in the night?

Hihi, I have not personally but I know of one lady from another forum who had experienced that. 23 Aug is a non-promo period I believe? That is more than a month since u placed that order. Oh dear. Really pray that it is just a delay. So sorry dear, not much help I know.

I would take it in the morning and if u take probiotics at night before bed.
