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 cultural reasons, 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.
