Colief Vitamin D3 Drops - 20ml

Vitamin D contributes to the normal growth and development of bones in children and the maintenance of bone growth in adults. It also helps maintain normal immune system function. Vitamin D can be absorbed via food intake or can be formed in the skin under the influence of sunlight. Nevertheless, a deficiency is possible and in many cases a supplement of vitamin D is required.

Top tips on getting enough vitamin D:

• Ensure you and your children spend some time outside each day during the summer months before applying sunscreen. Sunscreen should be used to prevent sunburn.

• Some foods are fortified with vitamin D, including some yogurts, some breakfast cereals and some bread. Try to incorporate these into your diet and eat oily fish once or twice a week.

• Take a daily supplement and look out for the preferred form of vitamin D3

Vitamin D is important for bone strength and development so is particularly important for babies and children. Topping up your child’s vitamin D levels protects them from the more serious effects of deficiency, such as the childhood bone disorder rickets.
