Bioflora Vitamin D3 500IU Drops 12ml

Bioflora Vitamin D3 Drops deliver 500IU of vitamin D3 in a drop format made for babies, toddlers and young children. Drops can be placed on a dummy, on the breast before a feed or on a spoon of food, which makes daily dosing easy. Paediatric guidelines recommend vitamin D for breastfed babies, because breast milk, for all its benefits, is low in vitamin D. Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. It switches on calcium absorption, supports bone mineralisation and helps immune cells respond properly to infection.

Babies are kept out of the sun for good reason, which means they cannot make their own vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for absorbing the calcium that builds bones and teeth, and for a developing immune system.
