Vitabiotics Wellbaby Vitamin D3 10µg Drops For Infants From Birth To 4 Years 30ml

Vitabiotics Wellbaby Vitamin D3 10µg Drops For Infants From Birth To 4 Years help safeguard your child's intake of vitamin D, an essential nutrient which is needed for normal growth and development of bones in children. Too little vitamin D can cause rickets, a softening and weakening of bones. Since sun exposure - an important source of vitamin D - isn't recommended for babies, supplements are the best way to prevent vitamin D deficiency. These drops have been carefully developed by Vitabiotics' nutritional experts, and provide the exact level of Vitamin D for infants and young children, as recommended by the UK Department of Health, in a natural olive oil base. A baby is born with 300 bones and during the first years of your baby's life the bones are growing rapidly. The UK Department of Health recommends babies from birth to one year of age take a daily supplement containing 8.5-10µg of vitamin D, and that children from one to 4 years take a daily supplement containing 10µg of vitamin D. The drops provide vitamin D (as D3, the body's preferred form of Vitamin D), which is needed for normal growth and development of bones in children. It also contributes to their normal immune system function. The formula contains no artificial flavour, colours, preservatives or sweeteners, no yeast, lactose or alcohol, it is gluten free and is suitable for vegetarians. A measuring syringe is included in the pack.
