Kids Vitamin D makes it easy for parents to ensure that their children get enough Vitamin D. It’s a tiny, quick-dissolving tablet that can simply be dropped into the mouth. Alternatively, it can be easily dissolved in any liquid the child is drinking. This makes it ideal for parents of children aged birth to 6 years, for whom it is not safe to swallow tablets, and for children up to 8 years old, who often have difficulty chewing or swallowing tablets.

Vitamin D is essential for a range of bodily functions. In particular, it activates the absorption of calcium, which is crucial for building bones and muscles. This is especially important in the growing years, as peak bone mass is usually achieved by the age of 25. If optimal bone mass is not achieved in these crucial years, osteoporosis and other bone diseases are more likely later in life. Vitamin D is also necessary to enable absorption of Vitamin C, and is required for good nervous system function and blood clotting.

Vitamin D is manufactured when sunshine touches the skin, and is also found naturally in many foods, as well as added as a supplement to other foods, such as breakfast cereals. However, Vitamin D deficiency is becoming increasingly common. At the same time, science is showing that Vitamin D is important for a lot more than building bones, and may be required in larger quantities than was previously thought.
