Alora Naturals Liquid Vitamin D3 Infant & Children

Providing infants and children with a Liquid Vitamin D supplement is essential.  It is difficult for infants to obtain the proper recommended dose of vitamin D through breast milk alone, because break milk contains only 10% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D.  Babies need vitamin D for healthy growth and development. Vitamin D is a vitamin and hormone that stimulates the body to absorb calcium, and it is needed to keep bones strong.  People deficient in vitamin D levels tend to have more soft, thin bones, predisposing them to fractures.
