Vitamin D deficiency is common - up to a third of Australians are low in vitamin D and 95% don’t meet the recommended dietary intake. This is concerning as vitamin D is essential for many processes of the body including calcium absorption, immunity, bone strength and healthy growth and development.¹ ²
The power of sunshine - can we get enough vitamin D from the sun?
Due to low levels in dietary sources, most of our vitamin D comes from sun exposure. When we feel the sun on our skin, our body is busy producing vitamin D. Surprisingly, given our sunny, outdoor lifestyle, many Australians don’t get enough. Staying indoors, rugging up in colder months and recommended sun protection limits exposure. Predictably, our levels of vitamin D drop lowest in winter. Other factors that limit our body’s production include darker skin tones and living in southern regions of Australia, where lower angle of the sun and increased cloud cover decrease needed UVB rays.
5 Benefits of Whole Earth & Sea Vitamin D3
1. Build and maintain strong immunity
It’s difficult to see our kids get one illness after another at daycare and school and even harder to look after them if we get sick too. Vitamin D affects many aspects of the immune system including regulating specific immune cells to boost defence against virus, bacteria and other pathogens.³
Kids Vegan D3 Drops and Vegan Vitamin D3 provide D3 immune support for kids and adults, so life gets back on track.
2. Support healthy bone, muscles and teeth
Kids Vegan D3 Drops and Vegan Vitamin D3 provide natural vitamin D3 for effective calcium absorption for strong bones and healthy teeth. Calcium and vitamin D are essential to maintain healthy bone mineral density, especially important for at risk post-menopausal women and growing children. Adequate vitamin D is also needed to maintain healthy muscle function with deficiency linked to muscle pain and weakness in adults and children.² ³
3. Nurture healthy growth and development
Vitamin D is vital for healthy growth and development during pregnancy, infancy and childhood. Its role in helping the body absorb and utilise calcium is essential during pregnancy for babies to build strong bones and muscles. Research has linked vitamin D deficiency in mothers to increased risk of small and low birth weight babies.
Babies can also be at risk of low vitamin D because their sensitive skin requires extra sun protection and while breastmilk is a great nutritional source, it is often low in vitamin D. Kids Vegan D3 Drops provides vitamin D3 necessary for development of bones, muscles and teeth for healthy babies and children.² ³
4. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians
Most dietary sources of vitamin D are animal-based and include meat, eggs, oily fish and fortified dairy products. It is difficult to get adequate intake through diet and vegans can be at additional risk.¹ ³
The good news is Kids Vegan D3 Drops and Vegan Vitamin D3 are suitable for vegans and vegetarians, simple to take and easily absorbed.
5. Help prevent deficiency with highly bioavailable, natural Vitamin D3
When dietary intake and sun exposure is low, Kids Vegan D3 Drops and Vegan Vitamin D3 help maintain healthy vitamin D levels in a highly bioavailable, D3 form.
