Dalivit Vitamin D3 in a Pump Dispenser bottle has been designed for ease to ensure your child gets the correct amount of Vitamin D which is important in maintaining normal growth and development of children's bones and teeth.
1 month - 5 years: 1 depression (to the limit) of the dispensing pump orally once daily.
5+ years: 2 depressions (to the limit) of the dispensing pump orally once daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
One 28ml bottle of DaliVit D3 provides 100-200 days supply.
Do not exceed the recommended dose.
One depression of the dispensing pump (to the limit) provides a dose of 5ug (200IU) Vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 in a daily dose of 5ug (200IU)/day is recommended for breastfed infants from the first days after birth.
Babies fed infant formula per day, will not need vitamin D until they are receiving less than 500ml (about half a pint) of instant formula per day, as these products are fortified with vitamin D.
Concurrent vitamin D supplementation to breastfeeding mothers on a daily dose less than 50ug (2000IU) does not have an impact on the baby's dosage.
Vitamin D3 Pump Dispenser plays a vital role in regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body. It is essential for proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus as well as proper bone formation and mineralisation. Vitamin D3 deficiency may impair bone mineralisation and calcification of newly forming bone and in consequence may lead to rickets in neonates and infants. Vitamin D3 enhances the absorption of calcium in the intestines and allows depositing into bones. Breastfed babies are particularly prone to deficiency in vitamin D3 as breast milk is deficient in vitamin D3.
