The country just issued a screening order! Is your child‘s spine secretly deforming? 90% of parents make calcium mistakes more damaging to bones.

The school just issued screening notice, hiding key signals of children‘s growth

“Please bring the child to complete a spinal flexion screening. 10-16 years old must be examined!”

The notification in the parents‘ group last week was precisely the mandatory requirement of the “Five Healthy” action jointly launched by the country‘s 13 ministries -- all middle and elementary schools must have their children undergo an annual spinal examination by 2030.

Too many regrets have been seen in the clinic: a 12-year-old girl whose height and shoulders were low for half a year was found to have a 25° lateral curvature of the spine on an X-ray; a boy with a hunched back was ridiculed, and bone density tests showed that calcium intake had only reached the standard of 30%. The pediatrician said bluntly: “Bone problems are better prevented sooner, and calcium supplementation is worse if it‘s wrong than not supplementing at all!”

3 Deep Calcium Supplementary Holes Are Destroying Children‘s Spine

The China Journal of Pediatrics survey is heartbreaking: 43% of children are eating unnecessary calcium tablets, 27.5% are constipated because of this, and 12.3% are at risk of kidney stones. Are you caught in these misconceptions?

1. “If you drink enough milk, you won‘t lack calcium”? Wrong!

After the age of 3, children need 800 mg of calcium per day, and during puberty it skyrockets to 1000 mg. A cup of 250ml milk contains only 260 mg of calcium, even if it is three cups a day, and eating some snacks is far from enough—more than 90% of children in our country have insufficient calcium intake, and their spinal bones simply “can‘t eat enough.”

2. “Just add a bit of calcium tablet”? Dangerous!

The daily calcium intake above the age of 2 is 800 mg. Many parents follow the trend and buy calcium tablets. One tablet contains 500 mg, plus dairy products, which directly exceeds the limit! The excess calcium will turn into stone, and it will inhibit iron zinc absorption.

3. “Spine problems can be corrected by posture alone”? Leak!

Calcium is the “steel bar” of the spine—the vertebrae are not dense enough, and no matter how much standing posture is practiced, it is still easy to bend sideways and deform. Just like building a house without cement, the frame will sooner or later tilt.

Doctors are recommending a state-approved “bone protection plan”

The “Five Healthy” action clearly requires: Bone health must go through all three channels of “nutrition + screening + intervention”. These 3 steps must be done well by parents:

1) First assessment: 2-minute self-assessment of calcium gap

2) Scientific Supplement: Safe only when approved for “prescription level”

Ordinary calcium tablets are either misdosed or poorly absorbed. Pediatric experts more strongly recommend prescription-grade calcium supplementation, which is key in these 3 points:

✅ Calcium D complementary: each bar contains 300 mg of elemental calcium, paired with 62.5 IU of vitamin D, just enough to fill dietary gaps, no excess, no waste.

✅ Absorption No Burden: Use citrus acid instead of gastric acid to be dissolved in vitro, no need to consume autogastric acid, eating on an empty stomach also does not stimulate the gut, avoiding constipation.

✅ Big White Clinical Validation Dare to Recommend: Approved by State Food and Drug Administration, each batch has improved bone density clinical data, adapting to different needs of 3-18 years of age.

3) Monitoring diligently: Check these 2 signals monthly

L Look at posture: stand against the wall, whether the back of the head, shoulder blades, and buttocks are against the wall (careful for 1 finger or more)

L Measure Height: Less than 0.5 cm per month during puberty, possibly due to calcium deficiency affecting bone development
