Soak up the sun in winter too! Vitamin D, also known as the sun vitamin, is involved in many processes in the body and is therefore important for the organism.
Vitamin D3 and coconut oil
Vitamin D3 Vida contains vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) from coconut oil from South East Asia. It contains no alcohol and is therefore also suitable for babies and children. Thanks to the practical dropper pipette, dosing is child’s play. [loggedin]With 400 IU of vitamin D3 per drop and around 400,000 IU per bottle [/loggedin]
Vitamin D3 especially for toddlers and babies
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a precursor of vitamin D, which is converted into physiologically active vitamin D in the body.
Vitamin D is produced in the skin with the help of sunlight. However, sunlight is often not sufficient for this.
In addition, good sun protection is particularly important for sensitive baby skin. However, the body’s own vitamin D can then no longer be produced. Vitamin D3 Baby may only be used under medical supervision.
400 IU vitamin D3 for infants and babies
The Federal Office of Public Health recommends 400 IU of vitamin D3 daily in the first year of life and 600 IU daily in the second and third year. [loggedin]This ensures an adequate supply of vitamin D3 during this pronounced growth phase, when good sun protection is also recommended.*

Protect babies from the sun
In summer, the sun is so strong in Switzerland that the skin only needs to be exposed to the sun for a short time to produce sufficient vitamin D. [loggedin]It is sufficient to expose your face and hands to the sun for about 20 minutes. However, this is not recommended for babies’ sensitive skin*.
