400IU Vitamin D Supplements
Did you know that vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is required by the body to be able to use calcium and phosphorous effectively to build and maintain strong bones and teeth? vitamin D is unique in that it can be synthesized by the body after exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet rays); however, because of our increasingly sedentary lifestyles, and the widespread use of sunscreens, most people today do not make sufficient amounts of vitamin D via sun exposure. A lack of vitamin D can decrease calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, causing calcium to be pulled from the bones to help maintain stable blood levels. During childhood, this can result in rickets and osteomalacia (softening of the bones), as well as osteoporosis in adulthood. Vitamin D comes in many different potencies, read on to learn the benefits of vitamin d 400IU.
It’s extremely difficult for children to get all of the vitamin D benefits they need from sun exposure and diet alone because it's only present in few foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and mushrooms. And the amount present in these foods is itself dependent on how much exposure to UV lights the farmers have given them, not to mention the fact that they also lose 20-40% of their vitamin D content after only one week of storage. This is why supplementation is wise for most children.

Who Needs Vitamin D 400 IU?
Because breast milk contains little vitamin D, supplementation is necessary from the first stages of life for babies that are exclusively breastfed. To reap the full benefits of vitamin d, the current recommendation for vitamin D intake in children is 400 IU per day from infancy up to the age of one, and 600 IU thereafter for children and adolescents.
Vitamin D 400 IU Supplement Varieties
Forms
Vitamin D supplements in 400 IU come in a few different forms, either from lanolin (the most common source), which comes from sheep’s wool, or from vegan algae-source. Both of these supply high-quality, highly absorbable vitamin D as D3 cholecalciferol; the preferred form of vitamin D, that has been shown to be very effective at quickly increasing serum vitamin D concentrations.
Formats
400IU Vitamin D supplements offer many benefits and are available in highly absorbable natural oil-based soft gels, in tasty and convenient chewable tablets and gummies for children, as well as in practical liquids, drops, and sprays that are easy to administer – no swallowing required!
Final Thoughts
Knowing the benefits of vitamin d is half the battle in selecting the right supplement for your needs, knowing the form that's best for you is also important. There are two different forms of vitamin D, one is synthesized in the skin when exposed to sunlight, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), as well as can be sourced from lanolin and algae. The other form, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is synthetically made from plants, mushrooms, and yeast and is the form used to fortify foods. Vitamin D3 is considered the natural form and is a far better choice than D2. It has in fact been shown to be better absorbed and retained than D2, as well as is better able to correct a deficiency.
