6. Special reminder from doctors
There is a misunderstanding in the concept of "milk powder as a substitute for calcium supplementation" that has been hotly discussed on the Internet recently. The director of the Department of Orthopedics at Peking Union Medical College Hospital pointed out: Milk powder cannot replace drug treatment, and patients with severe osteoporosis still need to use standardized medications. As a daily nutritional supplement, milk powder needs to be consumed regularly for a long time to show its effect.
Choosing suitable milk powder for the elderly requires comprehensive consideration of personal health status, nutritional needs and taste preferences. It is recommended to consult a nutritionist or doctor before purchasing, conduct regular bone density testing, and scientifically adjust the supplement plan.
