Is vitamin D3+K2 (1000 IU) suitable for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women?Updated 13 days ago

Due to legislation, vitamin D3+K2 cannot be officially recommended for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. Although for vitamin D3, for example, we meet the safety profile parameters for food supplements intended for children, we do not have official certification. However, there is currently no purer form of vitamin D3 on the market. Nor do we use synthetic and preservatives that are not required to be listed on labels. 

Practice vs. Legislation

In practice, vitamin D3 supplementation during these periods is considered by the professional community to be essential for the healthy development of the fetus and the child's immunity. Therefore, if you are considering using our Vitamin D3+K2 during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend that you consult your doctor about its use and possible dosage.

We have developed the KIDS line especially for children. It is legislatively and compositionally adapted to be suitable not only for children, but also for mothers who are looking for a gentler dosage.

• You can choose from separate Kids Omega 3 or the Omega 3+D3/K2 combination.
• The dosage for these products is gentler, easier to adjust and therefore more suitable for the indicated groups.

It is always ideal to know the current level of vitamin D3 in the blood and supplement accordingly. If you do not know the values, stick to the basic general preventive doses:

6-12 months: 400-600 IU daily

1-2 years: 600 IU daily

2-3 years: 600-800 IU daily

3-8 years: 1000 IU daily

8-18 years: 1 000-2000 IU daily

18+ years: 1 000-3 000 IU daily

Pregnant and lactating women: 2,000+ IU per day

When supplementing higher doses of vitamin D3 for a long time, it is advisable to supplement vitamin K2 at the same time:

6 months - 1 year: insufficient data 

1 - 2 years: 5 mcg (10 mcg may be considered safe) 

2 - 3 years: 10-25 mcg 

3 - 4 years: 25-35 mcg

4 - 6 years: 35-50 mcg

6 - 10 years: 50 mcg

10 - 13 years: 50 - 75 mcg

13 - 18 years: 75 - 180 mcg

Vitamin D3+K2 contains 1000IU + 25mcg in 2 drops.

Kids Omega+D3/K2 contains 400 IU and 5 mcg in 0.5 ml (14 drops).
