Vitamin D contributes to the average 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; in many cases, a vitamin D supplement is required.

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

Mix Colief Vitamin D3 Drops with food or a drink. In the case of babies, they can also be given directly by mouth.

Do not exceed the recommended intake. *Not suitable for infants consuming 500ml or more formula milk daily. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. If you have concerns about taking vitamin D or giving it to infants/ young children, you should seek professional medical advice.
