WHAT IS VITAMIN D?
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that we need to build and maintain healthy, strong bones. Calcium is one of the main components of our bones. However, our bodies can only absorb calcium from food when vitamin D is also present. This makes it vital for everyone, but especially children, as their bones are still growing.
Vitamin D is good for more than just bone health. It's involved in many other processes within the body, even gene regulation. Being anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antioxidant, it plays an important part of a strong immune system, proper muscle function and a healthy brain.
WHAT IS DEFICIENCY?
Vitamin D deficiency is a health concern that affects around 1 billion people worldwide, with 1 in 2 people having less than the recommended amount. Because it is so common, it's a good idea to keep a close eye on your child and make a deliberate effort with their diet and lifestyle to help them get the amount they need.
Vitamin D deficiency can stunt a child's growth, cause muscle weakness, aches and pains, slow motor development, and leave kids prone to bone fractures. It also leads to poor immune function and lower mental wellbeing - it really is an essential nutrient for children!
RISK FACTORS
Certain factors may make some kids more at risk for deficiency than others. Let's take a look.
