Vitamin D3 supplements are generally well-tolerated. However, excessive intake can lead to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, and serious complications like kidney damage. If you have any health concerns or are taking other medications, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.

Vitamin D can be found in a small number of foods, including:

- Oily fish: Such as salmon, sardines, herring, and mackerel.

- Red meat

- Liver: Note that pregnant individuals should avoid liver.

- Egg yolks

- Fortified foods: Some fat spreads and breakfast cereals are fortified with Vitamin D.

The Department of Health and Social Care in the UK recommends that adults and children over 4 years old should take a daily Vitamin D supplement containing 400IU. It's important to note that the required amount of Vitamin D may vary for each individual, depending on factors such as sun exposure and skin color. Those with darker skin tend to absorb less Vitamin D from sunlight.

For children aged 9 and above, a dose of 1000IU of Vitamin D3 can be appropriate and safe, with the option to adjust the frequency, such as once every other day during summer months.

Our Vitamin D3+K2 supplement is of higher strength (Vitamin D3 4000IU and Vitamin K2 1000IU). If you find the 4000IU strength too high, you can opt to take them once every 2-3 days instead of daily. This approach can be effective because both Vitamin D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, meaning they can be stored in the body's fat tissues and liver for future use.

Moreover, according to the NHS, taking 1000IU or less of vitamin K supplements a day is unlikely to cause any harm.

However, we strongly recommend consulting your GP or pharmacist for personalised advice based on the child's medical history.
