Vitamin D is an important nutrient for healthy bones, and teeth. Our bodies also require it to absorb calcium from food.
During the younger years of your child’s life, supporting adequate vitamin D levels is important to:
- Assist teeth development and support healthy teeth: by helping control calcium levels in the body, vitamin D aids teeth development in infants and children and supports healthy teeth.
- Maintains healthy immune system function: your child’s immune system is a dedicated defence mechanism and the first line of defence against bacteria and other germs. Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting your little one’s immune system health.
