Why do I need to give vitamin D to my child?

  • Vitamin D deficiency can result in Rickets (a painful disease associated with a softening of the bones and growth plates. Cases of vitamin D deficiency rickets have been confirmed in infants, toddlers and children in Canada.
  • Vitamin D is a building block involved in repair and maintenance of the body. In a recent publication that reviewed controlled trials, vitamin D reduces total mortality. Many believe that the greatest role vitamin D can play is to decrease the risk of chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
  • Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption by as much as 30 to 80 percent.
  • It is estimated that most Canadians are vitamin D deficient.Studies of urban toddlers found that 1/3 of children had vitamin D deficiency.
  • There are few sources of vitamin D. The need for a supplement like Kids Ddrops, will depend on your individual child. The best advice comes from your physician.


Why shouldn't I just expose my children to sunlight to ensure adequate absorption of vitamin D?

  • While UVB rays from sunlight are a main source of vitamin D for humans, the Canadian Dermatology Association, Health Canada and the Canadian Cancer Society impress upon us the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect children from skin concerns later in life;
  • The use of sunscreen with a sun protection factor of eight reduces the skin production of vitamin D by 97.5% in adults


My child takes a multivitamin. Do they need Kids D drops as well?

  • The D Drops Company cannot make medical recommendations. The best advice comes from your physician.
  • Kids D drops was developed to provide a simple, safe, and fun way for toddlers and children to receive 400 IU of vitamin D3, without any other chemicals, or additives.
  • Kids D drops responds to a growing trend towards individualizing vitamin supplementation depending on natural diet, risk factors and healthcare professional advice vs. a general approach with multivitamins


What is the source of the vitamin D?

  • Vitamin D3 is the form naturally produced in human skin exposed to sunlight. Drops brand vitamin D3 is a naturally sourced from lanolin (the oil obtained from wool of sheep and lambs). The lanolin is exposed to ultraviolet light to activate the fat that then turns into vitamin D3. The vitamin D3 is purified and used for our vitamin D3 supplement found in D drops brands. Although D drops brand vitamin D3 is an animal sourced product, the animal is not harmed during this process. Kids D drops are suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians.


What is the difference between Baby D drops and Kids D drops?

  • Both products contain 400 IU of naturally sourced vitamin D in just one drop.
  • Kids D drops 400 IU is a simple, safe, and fun way for toddlers and children to receive 400 IU of vitamin D and features an appealing package for children.
  • Kids D drops 400 IU is a 60 drop product (1.7mL), while Baby Ddrops is a 90 drop product (2.5mL). This provides an option of a lower purchase price (approximately $12 vs $16). The cost per dose of both products remains the same, approximately 20 cents per dose.
  • The instructions for Kids D drops are different than those for Baby D drops, so we felt it would be better to have a package designed just for children. The instructions for Baby D drops are specific to breast-fed babies and placing the drop on clean surface, such as mom's nipple and having the baby suck to ingest the drop. Kids D drops dosing involves having the drop placed on food or in a drink.


Vitamin D Recommendations for Children

How much vitamin D should you give your child? There is no easy answer because nobody really knows how much vitamin D humans really require.

About The D Drops Company

The D Drops Company is 100% Canadian owned and operated and was founded in response to a need for a simply better way to provide the one vitamin that is most often deficient in Canadians vitamin D. Our research and development is geared toward developing and marketing safe, effective, convenient and economical forms of vitamin D supplements under the Ddrops brand.



Vitamin D Deficient

A report published in the March 2009 issue of Pediatrics (PEDIATRICS Vol. 123 No. 3 March 2009, pp. 797-803) looking at nearly 3,000 12-19 year olds participating in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Study III (NHANES III) found that black teens were 20 times more likely to be vitamin D deficient than white teens. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency among girls was more than double that of boys, while twice as many obese teens were vitamin D deficient as normal-weight teens.

Chris Temovsky, Vice- President, The D Drops Company Inc. comments, "These findings further add to the body of knowledge amassing on vitamin D deficiency as a particularly acute concern in certain populations. These US findings are also very relevant to our Canadian youth population and highlight certain populations carrying a disproportionate health risk burden; given the northern latitudes and multicultural Canadian population. We hope this helps further raise public awareness and action around vitamin D deficiency in adolescents and how routine supplementation can help toward improving the health of Canadians. The D Drops Company Inc. is proud to offer a unique format once-daily vitamin drop technology: D drops 1,000 IU, and Baby D drops 400IU. All D drops brand products offer concentrated purified vitamin D, providing a daily dose of naturally sourced vitamin D3 in each single drop."

Insufficient vitamin D levels have been associated with bone fractures, heart disease, infection and suboptimal health overall.

Professor Reinhold Vieth of the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, and Director of Bone and Mineral Laboratory, Mount Sinai Hospital Toronto, an internationally recognized expert on vitamin D, commented, "Although current intakes of vitamin D are close to what is officially recommended, they are inadequate to deal with the growing evidence of vitamin D insufficiency. Increased intake of vitamin D (at least 1,000 international units per day) seems to make more and more sense given the trends in these and similar findings over recent years" Chris Temovsky, Vice- President of The D Drops Company Inc. states, "One cannot help but wonder if these findings can be extrapolated to our population in Canada. Considering our more northern latitudes, are we at similar or potentially higher risks and what are we doing about it? Could the solution be as simple as supplementation?"

We are excited about this positive medical finding that helps raise public awareness about vitamin D and how its role as a nutritional supplement can help improve the health of Canadians. The D Drops Company Inc. is proud to offer a unique format once-daily vitamin drop technology: D drops 1,000 IU, and Baby D drops 400IU. All D drops brand products offer concentrated purified vitamin D3, providing a daily dose of naturally sourced vitamin D3 in each single drop.
