Vitamin D contributes to normal growth and development in children, is necessary for normal bone structure, maintenance of normal teeth and the immune system.

Generally Vitamin D is produced by the body from exposure to sunlight. During winter, or if there are other factors that affect exposure to sunlight, it is unlikely that body will produce enough Vitamin D, which may lead to vitamin D deficiency.

Because it is not recommended to expose infants to sunlight and it may also be difficult to receive sufficient Vitamin D from a normal diet, Vitamin D supplements for infants and children may be required.

Other Vitamins such as Vitamin A and C, appear in a variety of foods and drinks, and it is likely that there is sufficient intake of these vitamins from numerous sources in a balanced diet.

Ditamin BabyVit Vitamin D3 drops are suitable as a source of Vitamin D to assist in cases of Vitamin D deficiency or as an easy of way ensuring that your child is receiving regular Vitamin D.

If you are unsure if this supplement is right for your child, contact your medical health professional.
