Dietary supplement vitamin D 400 IU, DHA in twist-off form, 30 caps./1 pack.
Dietary supplement D-Vitum 400 IU vitamin D DHA in the form of twist-off capsules is a preparation providing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and vitamin D, ingredients that support the proper development of infants and young children.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acid from the omega-3 group, naturally present in breast milk. Its amount is not constant and depends on the mother's diet. If the mother does not consume at least 200 mg of DHA daily from her diet, DHA supplementation is also recommended for breastfed children. After breastfeeding, for children up to 2 years of age, DHA supplementation of at least 100 mg daily is recommended. Consuming DHA supports the normal visual development of infants up to 12 months of age (benefits are obtained with a daily intake of 100 mg of DHA).
Vitamin D should be supplemented from the first days of a child's life, regardless of feeding method (breast or formula).
The recommended dose is:
- 400 IU/day from birth to 6 months of age,
- 400–600 IU/day between 6 and 12 months of age, depending on the dietary vitamin D intake.
