Most people are familiar with the importance of Calcium for toddlers’ growing bones, but vitamins D and K2 are also vital for bone health, as well as proper Calcium absorption! Vitamin D is beneficial as it aids the body’s absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus and supports immune function. Vitamin K2 is also crucial for strong bones, but also for modulating Calcium — it activates osteocalcin which binds Calcium to bone; and it helps keep Calcium out of artery walls, where it doesn’t belong. It’s been shown that children between 1 and 3 years of age who received Vitamin D supplementation had not only higher Vitamin D levels, but also higher Calcium and Phosphorus. As well, it’s important to include this essential nutrient into your child’s diet as cases of rickets, a condition that can be caused by Vitamin D deficiency resulting in the softening and weakening of bones, tend to be reported during the second year of life. And, did you know our Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) is the same form of this vitamin that your child’s (and your) body naturally produces when exposed to sunlight? Support your toddler’s bone health and overall health with these unflavored liquid drops.
