What does vitamin D contribute to?

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, normal teeth and normal muscle function. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus.

How does 25µg of vitamin D compare with NHS advice?

The NHS says that adults and children from the age of 1 year need 10µg of vitamin D a day, and that 10µg a day is enough for most people who choose to take a supplement. Each capsule provides 25µg, which is more than that, and the NHS upper limit for adults is 100µg (4,000 IU) a day. The label states that the product is to be taken on the advice of a practitioner or pharmacist only.

Is Lamberts Vegan Vitamin D3 suitable for children?

The label gives no age range and states that the product is to be taken on the advice of a practitioner or pharmacist only. The NHS says that children aged 1 to 10 years should not have more than 50µg (2,000 IU) of vitamin D a day.
