Benefits
Vitamin D plays a vital role from the earliest months of life. It helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, two minerals essential for the normal development of bones and teeth. It also contributes to the maintenance of immune function, normal growth, and overall good health (Wagner et al., 2008; Munns et al., 2016).
Unlike most vitamins, vitamin D is obtained primarily through exposure to sunlight rather than through the diet. During the first year of life, however, infants are intentionally exposed to very little sunlight to protect their delicate skin. This is why several health organizations recommend daily vitamin D supplementation for infants, whether they are breastfed or formula-fed, depending on their daily intake (Wagner et al., 2008; Health Canada; Canadian Paediatric Society).
Prevention
Very few foods naturally contain significant amounts of vitamin D. Fatty fish, liver, and egg yolks provide some vitamin D, but these foods are not part of an infant’s daily diet. Some foods are fortified, including certain infant formulas and milk, but their contribution may still be insufficient to meet the needs of all infants.
Studies show that a significant proportion of children have suboptimal vitamin D levels, particularly in northern regions where sunlight exposure is limited for much of the year (Kumar et al., 2009; Herrick et al., 2019). In Canada, the lower intensity of UV rays during several months of the year significantly reduces the skin’s ability to produce vitamin D, further highlighting the importance of supplementation during infancy.
BASE Kids
BASE Kids Vitamin D provides 400 IU (10 µg) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per drop, which corresponds to the recommended daily intake for most healthy infants. Just one drop per day makes it easy to incorporate into a baby’s daily routine.
Our formula contains a minimal number of carefully selected ingredients, with no added flavor or sugar. Vitamin D3 is dissolved in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a stable oil well suited to liquid formulations designed for infants. Like all BASE Kids products, it is manufactured according to rigorous quality standards to provide parents with a simple, safe, and easy-to-administer product.
Use
BASE Kids Vitamin D is designed for daily use from the first months of life to support normal growth, healthy bone and tooth development, and immune function. One drop per day provides 400 IU of vitamin D3, in line with commonly used recommendations for healthy infants.
Taken regularly, vitamin D provides a simple way to complement a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Although a nutritious diet remains essential, vitamin D is one of the few nutrients whose requirements can be difficult to meet through food alone during infancy. This is why vitamin D is one of the most recommended supplements in pediatric care (Wagner et al., 2008; Munns et al., 2016).
