Nordic Naturals Baby’s Vitamin D3, Unflavoured - 22.5 ml - 400 IU - 90 Servings

What is vitamin D3?

Vitamin D exists in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is the form your baby’s body naturally produces when exposed to sunlight, and it is more effective at raising and maintaining vitamin D levels in the blood. Nordic Naturals uses cholecalciferol sourced from lanolin, making this supplement suitable for vegetarians. The liquid format ensures easy absorption—simply add one drop to breast milk, formula, or food.

Why should your baby get enough vitamin D?

Vitamin D is essential for growing infants. It contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, which are needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Many babies, especially those who are breastfed or have limited sun exposure, may not obtain sufficient vitamin D from diet alone. That’s why the NHS recommends a daily supplement of 400 IU from birth. Nordic Naturals Baby’s Vitamin D3 delivers precisely that amount in a single, easy-to-administer drop. Additionally, vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function and the normal function of the immune system, supporting your baby’s developing motor skills and general health.

• Bone health: Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, helping to maintain normal bones and teeth.
• Immune function: Vitamin D3 helps maintain a healthy immune system, which is important for defending against everyday challenges.
• Muscle function: Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function, aiding your baby’s motor development.

This product is a food supplement. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Who should consider supplementation?

The NHS advises that all babies from birth to one year old should receive a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU, particularly if they are breastfed or consume less than 500 ml of vitamin D-fortified formula per day. Infants with darker skin or those living in northern latitudes with limited sun exposure may also have higher needs. Always consult your health visitor or GP before starting any supplement.

How to uses and dosage

Each serving provides 400 IU of vitamin D3. The included measured dropper allows precise administration: simply squeeze one drop into your baby’s mouth, onto a pacifier, or mix it with breast milk, formula, or food. The unflavoured formula is gentle and will not alter the taste of your baby’s meal. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. One bottle provides 90 servings—a three-month supply at the recommended daily dose.

What to look for in a baby vitamin D supplement

Not all supplements are created equal. When choosing one for your baby, consider the form (D3 is preferred), dosage accuracy, and purity. Nordic Naturals Baby’s Vitamin D3 is non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and contains no artificial colours or flavours. It is also certified vegetarian, accommodating various dietary preferences. The product undergoes third-party testing for purity and freshness, meeting strict international standards—giving parents peace of mind.

Safety and side effects

Vitamin D is generally safe when taken in recommended amounts. The daily dose of 400 IU is well within the safe upper limit for infants. However, excessive intake can lead to toxicity, so it is important to follow the dosage instructions. If you have any concerns about your baby’s vitamin D levels, speak with your GP or health visitor. As with any supplement, keep the bottle out of reach of children.
