Pediakid Vitamin D3 1000 IU drops 20ml

Why should children be given Pediakid vitamin D3?
Pediakid vitamin D3 is a food supplement essential for healthy growth in children. It is necessary for calcium absorption and its fixation in the bones, helping to prevent rickets. It also plays a key role in supporting the proper functioning of the immune system. Naturally sourced (extracted from lanolin), it helps to compensate for the lack of sunlight that is common, particularly in autumn and winter.

Can it be given to newborns?
Yes, vitamin D supplementation is recommended by health authorities from birth for all children, whether breastfed or not. However, it is essential to check the dosage and source with your paediatrician or doctor, especially if the child is already receiving fortified infant formula or another prescribed vitamin D supplement, to avoid any risk of overdose.

What does it taste like?
This product is formulated to be neutral in taste and free from artificial flavourings. This is a major advantage for compliance, as the oily drops can be given neat directly into the mouth or easily mixed into yoghurt, compote or a warm bottle without altering the flavour, making daily administration easier even for fussy children.

How many drops per day?
The usual recommendation for standard maintenance is 2 drops per day (providing 400 to 800 IU depending on the concentration—check the label). The exact dose may vary according to age, feeding method and the specific recommendations of your healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the medical prescription strictly.

What is the difference from prescription medicines?
Pediakid uses naturally sourced vitamin D3 dissolved in deodorised oleic sunflower oil, without controversial preservatives. Some conventional medicines (ampoules or drops) may be synthetically sourced or contain different excipients. In terms of biological efficacy for calcium fixation, natural vitamin D3 is excellent and very well absorbed.
