Why Supplements?

"Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthy diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life. Calcium and magnesium, necessary for strong bones and teeth, are also critical for cardiovascular health, nerve and muscle function and many enzyme reactions."-GNLD Chelated Cal-Mag

When I was pregnant, my ObGyne also recommended me to take calcium supplement instead of drinking milk for pregnancy. I let you in a secret, doctors who recommends you to drink milk for pregnancy, it will make the baby big and will let you undergo C-Section and your bill is higher. Actually my doctor told me that, so I was thankful she became my doctor.

This calcium supplement is GNLD Chelated Cal-Mag. It is calcium-magnesium with amino acid Glycine and Vitamin D. My doctor didn't recommend me the ones that are bought from the drug stores because it is synthetic. It is recommended 3 tablets will be taken. After my pregnancy I am still taking it, and it is the best calcium-magnesium supplement for me.

Do you remember that I have posted about Nature's Plus Calcium Supplement for kids? That it gives 250mg of calcium for 2 tablets? Since 1-3 years old needs 500mg per day calcium supplement, then this is the other supplement for them to meet their calcium needs. My doctor also recommends it for children, just crushed the tablet and put it into their food. Hope through this I have helped you supply your children's need for calcium if you are having a hard time on letting your child drinks milk.

Has anyone of you having a hard time to let your toddler drink milk? Milk is very important for which it provides calcium for your bones and teeth. But guess what, I have learned and my ObGyne told me that milk is dangerous to your health. She is a drink milker in her whole life but when she studied about it and doing research about milk, she quits drinking milk, and advises me that as early as my baby grows up make her stop drinking milk.

Have you ever wondered that after drinking milk later on it will make you hungry again? I have and my toddler also experiences it.

So it is okay for a toddler to stop drinking milk already. Here's where the supplements coming in. There are lots of calcium supplements out there, and I have searched all stores except the pharmacies or drug stores because they are giving synthetic medicines or supplements, I have bought this to my toddler from healthy options...
