Healthy kids shine the brightest when they get the right nutrients and vitamin D is essential for our kids’ growth and development. It helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from foods we eat, essential minerals for building strong bones and teeth, especially in little ones as they grow. That’s not all. Vitamin D also regulates immune cell activity and has been shown to help lower the risk of certain seasonal allergies.
Although this nutrient is naturally found in foods like salmon and sardines, the most common way people get it is by spending time under the sun. This is because our bodies naturally make vitamin D when the sun’s UVB rays hit our skin.
During our long Canadian winters it’s hard to get enough time in the sun–the days are shorter and the UVB rays are not as strong. This and the use of sunblock can limit your body’s natural ability to produce vitamin D.
So, what happens when we don’t get enough vitamin D? It’s possible to develop a vitamin D deficiency. Though the symptoms can be hard to spot, some people experience weakened bones or joint pain. In more serious and rare cases, a vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets in children.
For a year-round dose of sunshine turn to Orange Naturals Kids D3 1000 IU. The higher dosage makes it easy for your kids to get optimal amounts of the vitamin D they need, especially in the winter months. Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is a more effective type of vitamin D that we get from sunlight and animal-based foods. Each drop of Kids D3 1000IU gives your little ones their daily dose of pure vitamin D3 in medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil for enhanced absorption.
