B Protected Pedia Vitamin D-Vite Drops - Natural Fruit Flavour, 50 ml

Key Benefits of Vitamin D Supplementation

Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It also supports the normal function of the immune system. For breastfed babies, who may not receive sufficient vitamin D from breast milk alone, a supplement such as Pedia D-Vite can help ensure they get the Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) of 400 IU per day.*

• Bone Health: Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, contributing to normal bone development.*
• Immune Function: Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, helping your baby’s body defend against everyday challenges.*
• Healthy Growth: Adequate vitamin D levels support proper growth and development during this critical early stage.*

These benefits are well established by scientific research. However, individual responses may vary. Always consult your paediatrician to determine what is best for your baby.

Why Do Breastfed Babies Need Vitamin D?

Breast milk is the perfect food for infants, but it may not provide enough vitamin D. The Department of Health recommends that all breastfed infants receive a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU starting shortly after birth. Vitamin D plays a role in calcium absorption, which is important for developing strong bones and teeth.* Pedia D-Vite Drops by B Protected are specially formulated to meet this need in a gentle, easy-to-administer drop.

Understanding Vitamin D3 for Infants

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the same form your baby’s body produces when exposed to sunlight and is more effective at raising and maintaining vitamin D levels. Pedia D-Vite uses vitamin D3, ensuring your little one receives the most bio-available form. Each drop delivers 400 IU of vitamin D3, the exact amount recommended for infants.

What Makes Pedia D-Vite Drops Special?

Pedia D-Vite Drops stand out for their thoughtful formulation. They feature a delicious natural fruit flavour that most babies enjoy, making supplement time easier. The liquid drop format allows for simple, accurate dosage—just one drop per day can be placed directly in your baby’s mouth or mixed with a small amount of breast milk, formula, or food (as recommended by your paediatrician). The product is free of artificial colours and unnecessary additives, refocusing only on what your baby needs.

How to Uses Pedia D-Vite Drops

Administer one drop (400 IU) daily. To uses, simply squeeze one drop onto a clean surface such as a nipple, pacifier, or directly into your baby’s mouth. You may also mix it with expressed breast milk, formula, or food. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your health care professional. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Uses within 90 days of opening.

Safety and Quality Considerations

Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it is important not to exceed the recommended dosage. The UK RNI for infants is 400 IU per day. Pedia D-Vite provides a safe 400 IU per drop. This product is manufactured under strict quality control standards. If your baby has any underlying health conditions or is taking other medications, consult your paediatrician before starting supplementation.
