Natures Aid Award-Winning Vitamin D3 drops has been designed specifically for breastfed babies, infants and children. Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium for strong, healthy bones and teeth.

Vitamin D is especially important for children's growing bodies. The UK Department of Health recommends that all newborn babies to children aged 5 years should take a Vitamin D supplement.

BENEFITS

Bone Health: Vitamin D plays a key role in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood by promoting ab-sorption in the intestines and calcium re-absorption in the kidneys. This leads to normal calcification of the bone matrix, needed for bone growth and repair.

Prevention of deficiency: The following groups of people are at risk of vitamin D deficiency:

• all pregnant and breastfeeding women, especially teenagers and young women
• infants and young children under 5 years of age
• older people aged 65 years and over.
• people who have low or no exposure to the sun, for example those who cover their skin for culturalreasons, who are housebound or confined indoors for long periods.
• people who have darker skin, for example people of African, African-Caribbean and South Asian origin, because their bodies are not able to make as much vitamin D.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: supplementing with vitamin D can often produce improvements in mood in those with SAD in as little as a week.

Immune Health: vitamin D plays a role in the immune system by virtue of the fact that it promotes the process of phagocytosis (where immune cells engulf bacteria etc.), anti-tumour activity and a modulating effect on the immune system.

Oestrogen-based hormone medications may increase blood levels of vitamin D (and hence improve bone density), but also cause a fall in the beneficial HDL cholesterol.
