Why do children need vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble nutrient that the body synthesizes under the influence of sunlight. In the autumn-winter period and with limited outdoor exposure, natural synthesis is significantly reduced - especially in school-age and preschool children.
The main role of vitamin D in the body is to support the absorption of calcium. Calcium, in turn, is a key building block for bone tissue, which is especially important during the period of active growth of a child. Therefore, vitamin D3 and calcium are often considered in a pair: without sufficient levels of D, calcium is absorbed worse, even if it comes in sufficient quantities with food.
In addition to supporting bones, vitamin D3 is associated with the functioning of the immune system - which is why the supplement is often chosen for the daily diet during the cold season.
How much vitamin D3 should a child take per day?
According to the manufacturer's instructions, take two chewable tablets per day. The tablets should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing. The recommended time of administration is during meals, as vitamin D3 is fat-soluble and is better absorbed with food containing fats.
The specific dosage for a child should be agreed with a pediatrician - depending on age, weight and results of a blood test for the level of 25(OH)D. The supplement is positioned as a dietary supplement, not as a medicine.
What is the difference between the chewable form and drops and capsules?
Vitamin D3 drops are convenient for babies and very young children. Chewable tablets are a format for children who can already chew: easier to dose, does not require a pipette or spoon, convenient to take on the road or to school.
Unlike standard capsules that need to be swallowed with water, the orange-flavored chewable tablet usually does not cause rejection in the child. This is practically important when taken daily for several months.
Composition of auxiliary ingredients
Additional ingredients: sugar, stearic acid, natural flavoring "Orange", magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, citric acid. Natural dyes - turmeric root and beet powder. No artificial dyes, gluten and GMOs in the composition.

Who is this format suitable for?
The supplement is designed for children who can already chew hard tablets. Suitable for daily use during the season of low solar activity, as well as for children with limited outdoor exposure. The gluten-free and allergen-free format is convenient for children with dietary restrictions.
