Vitamin K + D3 Baby Drops

Vitamin K + D3 drops are a dietary supplement specially developed for infants, 100% natural and suitable for babies who are breastfed or receive less than 500 ml of formula. Breast milk contains all the nutrients your child needs, but it needs extra vitamin K & D.

From the 8th day after birth until 3 months of age, a dietary supplement containing vitamin K and D3 is recommended. The bottle is sufficient for the first 3 months!

The drops are dissolved in coconut oil for good absorption and are easy to administer with a handy dosing pipette. This allows you to give your baby the right support in a natural and safe way from the very first weeks.

Vitamin K

Infants do not produce enough vitamin K in the first few months of life. Babies only start producing vitamin K themselves after 3 months. That is why it is important to give them extra. The body produces vitamin K in the intestines. However, this does not happen sufficiently in infants. Vitamin K is produced by bacteria in the large intestine. Newborn babies do not yet have the intestinal bacteria to produce vitamin K themselves.

Vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble vitamin. The natural form of vitamin K in food and drink is phylloquinone Vitamin K1. This is found in green leafy vegetables, fruit, milk, milk products, meat, eggs and grains.

Vitamin K deficiency?

Newborn babies may have a vitamin K deficiency because they do not get enough during pregnancy. This may be because vitamin K cannot reach the unborn child through the placenta or because it does not yet have enough intestinal bacteria to produce sufficient vitamin K.

Why vitamin K1 for babies and not K2?

For newborn babies, vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is better than K2 because it works faster and has been extensively researched for the prevention of bleeding. Vitamin K1 is mainly absorbed in the liver, where it is needed for the production of clotting factors. This is exactly what babies need to prevent bleeding.

K2 (menaquinone) works more slowly and is less efficiently absorbed by the liver. That is why K1 is recommended from day 8 onwards for breastfed babies in the Netherlands. Vitamin K is often added to formula milk.

Vitamin D3 Cholecalciferol

Babies from 1 week old and toddlers need extra vitamin D every day for growth. Vitamin D3 is important for bone formation (growth and development of bones) and teeth, good muscle function and natural resistance. This fat-soluble vitamin promotes the absorption of the minerals calcium and phosphorus from food.

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin and is formed in our bodies through exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D3 is also found in oily fish, beef, cheese and eggs. Babies do not get enough vitamin D from breast milk. That is why it is recommended to give your baby 10 mcg or 400 IU of vitamin D per day from week one onwards.

MCT oil is short for Medium Chain Triglycerides

MCT oil contains medium-chain fatty acids from coconut oil. MCT oil occurs naturally in breast milk and is quickly absorbed by the body. Vitamin D needs fat to be absorbed. The type of fat in MCT oil is just as important as the vitamin D itself.
