Vitamin D3 Kids Liquid 400 IU

Overview

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, minerals needed to build and maintain bone health. It also supports immune system function. Vitamin D3 is found in fish oils and eggs, and is produced by sunlight on human skin. Children and adults who don't like to take pills can get enough D3 with this quickly absorbed liquid form.

Advanced Info

Everyone needs vitamin D for strong bones and teeth and to support immunity. Babies and growing children require vitamin D for normal growth and development as well. The Canadian Pediatric Society recommends that babies who are exclusively breastfed receive supplementary vitamin D at a dose of 400 IU daily to help prevent vitamin D deficiency.

Sun exposure is the primary source of vitamin D, but geographic latitude, cloud cover, smog, and use of sunscreen can reduce UV ray exposure and limit vitamin D synthesis. Originally promoted for the prevention of rickets (softening of the bones), vitamin D has been intensively researched in recent years and experts are recommending higher intake of this very safe nutrient. Adults and children in northern communities, or who have other risk factors such as dark skin, may need to supplement with vitamin D in winter months.

Liquid Vitamin D3 from Webber Naturals provides safe, natural vitamin D3 for children and infants, and for adults who want the health benefits of vitamin D but who don't like to take pills.
