Vitamin D3 Drops – Colief

Vitamin D contributes to the normal development of bones and teeth in infants and young children and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth in mums and mums-to-be. It also helps maintain normal immune system function.

Vitamin D can be absorbed via food intake or can be formed in the skin under the influence of sunlight. Nevertheless, a deficiency is possible and in many cases a supplement of vitamin D is required.

Why take extra vitamin D?

• The most common cause of a vitamin D deficiency is a too low production via the skin as a consequence of insufficient exposure to sunlight due to seasonal variations, the use of sun creams, too little time spent outdoors, or wearing clothes that cover too much of the body.
• The capacity of our skin to produce vitamin D declines as we become older and among people with a darker skin. Another cause of vitamin D deficiency is insufficient absorption as a consequence of a dietary inadequacy or a less efficient absorption from the daily food intake.
• Colief® Vitamin D3 Drops have been developed to supplement the deficiency as well as to fulfil the increased requirements.
