Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient. It is known as the ‘sunshine’ vitamin as our bodies can convert sunlight into Vitamin D through a process that starts in our skin. Unfortunately, many people do not get enough sunlight exposure due to many factors or they have problems with the conversion process in the body which is where supplementation with a quality Vitamin D product can be very beneficial.
Vitamin D is essential throughout all stages of life and is an important nutrient for infant health especially bones, immune system development and it may also support normal sleep rhythms.
The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends that breastfed or partially breastfed infants receive 400IU of supplemental vitamin D daily.
