To ask for children's vitamin D3+K2 recommendations

[VitMum]

Hi,

Sorry, posting here for traffic.

Could anyone please recommend a children's vitamin D3+K2 (preferably not spray) as I don't seem to find any as opposed to the various ones available for adults.
Thanks

Mine take D3 but not K. They use a spray too

I give these to mine

How old for? A lot of places do chewy ones for Vitamin D with Calcium. Vitabiotics and Haliborange.

My kids have epigenar under the tongue drops (d3 and k2) - but I think they are not meant to be for under 11s (can't see that on the bottle - it was on the old bottle of the same stuff).

Thank you all for your response but I'm looking for vitamin D3+K2 and no other combination.

Lots and lots for adults:

@earlydoors42 thanks a lot for your suggestion. I have just looked it up but it seems for adults as no mention of age.

@earlydoors42 there is "not suitable for children under 11" on the bigger bottle only apparently.

Just give a smaller dose from the adult bottle?

What ages are your children?
There are maximum amounts of vitamin D3 for different age groups

this says ok for children

Nhs info about maximum vitamin d amounts:

If you choose to take vitamin D supplements, 10 micrograms a day will be enough for most people.

Do not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful. This applies to adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly, and children aged 11 to 17 years.

Children aged 1 to 10 years should not have more than 50 micrograms (2,000 IU) a day. Infants under 12 months should not have more than 25 micrograms (1,000 IU) a day.

Your GP or pediatrician may be able to recommend or even prescribe something. You could also ask about just giving a half tablet of the adult version. Any chemist will have a pill splitter you can buy.

You could just give them separately. I give DS3 (11 weeks) NeoKay drops (they gave us them in the hospital and the bottle seems never ending) and wellbaby D3 drops (as he’s breastfed).

I think our drops are K1 actually.

You can buy infant K2+D3 drops though. E.g. www.livewisenaturals.com/products/baby-d3-vitamin-d3-for-infants-toddlers-and-children-vegan-friendly
