Synopsis

1) Baby Ddrops at a Glance

Baby Ddrops is a vitamin based nutritional supplement featuring a single active ingredient.

Vitamin D icomes in 2 different forms: as vitamin D2 (plant based) and as vitamin D3 (animal based or sun synthesized). The vitamin from this product comes from an animal source called lanoline that is extracted from sheep wool. Many researchers stand behind the statement that vitamin D2 is not as well absorbed as the vitamin D3 and recommend the second as the best way to supplement your diet. babies usually obtain their nutrient intake from breast milk, however in most cases breast milk contains only 10% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

Vitamin D is known to have an essential role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It is also an important nutrient for the immune and nervous system. The benefits of vitamin D are numerous starting with its importance in normal growth, formation and repair of the bones. Reduced amounts of vitamin D is also associated with certain types of cancers, increased body weight or heart conditions.

Vitamin D is considered likely safe when taken in the recommended doses. Toxicity may occur when doses higher than 4,000 UI per day are administered leading to hypercalcemia (excess of calcium in the blood), nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, kidney problems, metallic, taste, dry mouth, etc. The compound may interact with other drugs like antacids, certain heart medication and water pills, however in this case, given that babies are final consumers these interactions are highly unlikely.

What’s Inside?

2) What’s Inside Baby Ddrops?

Baby Ddrops contains the following ingredients: Vitamin D3 and vegetable oil.

3) Does Baby Ddrops Work?

Baby Ddrops consists of a single active ingredient which is vitamin D3. The Vitamin D3 included in this formula is derived from the lanolin that comes from the sheep wool. Lanolin is also known as wool grease or wool fat and is secreted by these animals as a defense mechanism against environmental threats (like rain). Medicinally, lanolin is used to manufacture Vitamin D3, the animal form of this nutrient (and also the one synthesized through proper sun exposure).

Experts consider that this form is easier absorbed than the vegetable form which is known as vitamin D2. The most important function of the nutrient is to promote Calcium and Phosphorus absorption, vital processes in maintaining a healthy bone system. It is essential for normal growth, formation, and repair of the bones and for a healthy immune function (vitamin D is an immune system regulator). Other studied benefits for adults are its ability to reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis, heart attack, cancer or rheumatoid arthritis, promote normal cognitive function and body weight.

Vitamin D toxicity causes hypercalcemia (excess of calcium in the blood), loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting or kidney problems. The compound may interact with Aluminum, a common substance in antacids, heart medication, and water pills; however, the incidence of this occurring is highly unlikely given the targeted category of consumers for the formulation.

Baby Ddrops is recommended for children under two years old. The suggested dose is one drop per day dispensed on a clean surface. The manufacturer suggests that by dropping the formula on a surface rather than directly in the baby’s mouth makes it easier to monitor the number of drops administered.

I use to have problems whenever I tried to give my baby something he didn’t like. With these drops I don’t have this problem anymore. And the doctor also agreed that it contains the right amount of vitamin D.

This is one of the best products I tried to give to my baby. It is easy to administrate and so far my child had no problem in taking the drops. It is a little expensive though.
