Vitamin D3 + K2 Kids | 10ml Drops | Vit4ever

Vitamin D3 + K2 Kids by Vit4ever

In autumn and winter, the skin in the Netherlands produces little vitamin D. Vit4ever created Vitamin D3 K2 Kids: a drop containing vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, dissolved in a neutral oil. One drop per day provides 500 IU (12.5 µg) of vitamin D3 and 25 µg of vitamin K2. The 10 ml bottle contains approximately 300 drops, enough for about ten months. Suitable for children aged 4 and over, with a dropper to measure out exactly one drop.

Why these two vitamins for children

Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 often appear together in supplements, and that is no coincidence. Both are fat-soluble, which means your body absorbs and stores them together with fat from your diet, unlike water-soluble vitamins, which the body quickly excretes. Parents often wonder whether a child produces enough vitamin D in winter. In the Netherlands, the sun is too low from October to April to produce sufficient vitamin D in the skin, even on a clear winter day. Vitamin D is necessary for the normal growth and development of children's skeletal system and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, and to normal calcium levels in the blood. The same applies to the teeth: vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. Vitamin K2 complements this by contributing to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. Thus, both vitamins are in one drop per day.

D3 from lanolin, K2 as K2VITAL

The vitamin D3 in this product is cholecalciferol, extracted from lanolin (sheep's wool fat). This is the form that most closely resembles the vitamin D your body produces itself under the influence of sunlight, and therefore the most commonly used form in supplements. The vitamin K2 is menaquinone-7 in the all-trans form, derived from the branded raw material K2VITAL. The difference with a regular K2 raw material lies in the purity: K2VITAL has a controlled all-trans content of over 99 percent, while cheaper variants often contain a mix of cis and trans forms that is less stable and provides a less consistent dose. Both vitamins are dissolved in MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) from coconut. This was deliberately chosen: fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in oil, and MCT oil has no pronounced taste or smell. Convenient if you have to give a child a drop daily without any fuss about the taste.

How many drops, and how to give them

One drop per day is the recommended amount for children aged 4 and over. You give it with the dropper that comes with the bottle, undiluted or incorporated into a drink or with a meal. Because the drops have almost no taste, most children do not notice that something has been added to their food or drink. What parents also often want to know: can a child get too much vitamin D3 through such a drop? At the recommended dosage of one drop per day, that is not the case, but it is the reason why you stick to that dosage and keep the bottle out of reach of young children, just like with any other supplement. A 10 ml bottle with approximately 300 drops lasts about ten months with daily use, well over the dark months until deep into spring. This means that you do not have to order a new bottle halfway through the winter season, and that you can easily pass it on when it is almost empty.

Vitamin D3 K2 Kids is a targeted choice for families who notice in winter that their child goes outside little, without all kinds of extra additives or flavorings in the bottle. One drop, a clear dosage, and a form that has been tailored from the start for children aged 4 and over.
