The difference between vd and cod liver oil

We all know that vitamins are one of the essential nutrients for the human body. Maintaining normal life activities, growth and development of the human body. We also know about cod liver oil, and most people know that it can be used to supplement calcium. In fact, cod liver oil is rich in vitamins. It also has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. Vitamins can promote calcium absorption, thus helping the baby's growth and development. So what is the difference between vitamin D and cod liver oil? Next, let’s follow the editor to learn more about it!

1. VD only has VD, while cod liver oil has VA and VD. VA helps retinal formation, while VD promotes calcium absorption. Some mothers only supplement VD, while others supplement cod liver oil. It depends on personal needs.

2. Cod liver oil contains vitamin VD, and supplementing with cod liver oil is for the vitamin AD in it.

3. Both of these promote calcium absorption. However, generally speaking, cod liver oil also contains vitamin A, which can promote the development of the baby's retina, and DHA, which can promote the development of the baby's brain. Generally, they are added because they need to promote calcium absorption.

4. VD, Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that helps calcium absorption and promotes the baby's bone development. The human body does not produce VD itself, and there are relatively few foods containing VD. Even breast milk lacks vitamin D. The way for babies to obtain VD is to bask in the sun. Generally speaking, the baby's face should be exposed to the sun for 2 hours a day to supplement the vitamin D needed for a day. However, most babies nowadays cannot meet 2 hours of outdoor activities, especially newborn babies and young babies. Lack of VD means that calcium cannot be absorbed, which causes babies to suffer from night terrors due to calcium deficiency. Therefore, a baby's calcium deficiency does not necessarily mean that he really lacks the element calcium, because calcium is not generally lacking. Breast milk and formula are rich in calcium. Instead, the baby lacks VD, and the calcium deficiency is caused by the inability to absorb calcium.

5. Newborn babies and young babies: After two weeks or one month, you can supplement with cod liver oil or multivitamin + DHA drops, which can help brain development while supplementing VA, VD, etc. to help calcium absorption. If breastfeeding mothers are taking DHA, they can give their babies special VD drops to help calcium absorption.
