Is It Necessary To Give Calcium Supplement To A Kid?
My 14 year old is 6 2 and growing fast. I m worried that he may need more calcium. He drinks 12 oz. of 1% milk every morning, but the rest of the day is just some cheese, etc. He has never taken supplements--I believe in him getting his nutrients from food. Should he take a calcium pill?
