    In infants and young children, symptoms may include difficulty sleeping at night, waking up easily during sleep, sweating in the middle of the night, slow and uneven tooth growth, and late walking.

    When adults are deficient in calcium, symptoms may include cramps (especially when blood calcium ion concentration is below 2.25 mmol/L), obvious hunchback, insomnia, irritability...

    When the elderly are deficient in calcium, they will have symptoms such as osteoporosis, bone fractures, loose teeth, easy tooth loss, and poor sleep at night.

    Calcium deficiency at any age can cause certain health effects, affecting many aspects such as sleep, diet, emotions, etc.

    Especially for the elderly, calcium deficiency can easily cause osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain... Diseases such as bone fractures bring inconvenience to the physical health, mental health and life of the patient.

    Therefore, once calcium deficiency is detected, timely calcium supplementation is important.
