Oakville Moms Review:
We all know making our children take their vitamins can sometimes be challenging. When Ddrops contacted Oakville Moms, we were happy to try out their Ddrops for adults and Kids Ddrops at no cost to us. Ddrops and Kids Ddrops are a liquid vitamin D. With just one drop you take the required dosage for the day. The Ddrops has 180 drops in its bottle and the Kids Ddrops has 60 drops in its bottle. Much to my surprise my children were curious to try out the new vitamin, perhaps it had something to do with Dora being on the package. My children take their Kids Ddrops by spoon and each time they take it they say, "It doesn't taste like anything!" It's been so easy and no drama from them. You can also add the vitamin in your water/juice or on a fruit. There has been lot of talk about the importance of vitamin D and so many Canadians are vitamin D deficient. A few months ago I posted a question about vitamin D on Twitter and so many people responded by saying that by taking vitamin D their whole family hadn't been sick throughout the winter months. I was surprised to hear this!
Vitamin D promotes the growth formation of bones. Vitamin D regulates the blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and is needed for healthy bone growth and structure. Vitamin D deficiency associated with the skeletal system include:
Prevention of bone softening, deformity and fractures known as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.
Prevention of osteoporosis, which involves reduced bone mineral density, and is characterized by broken bones (especially hip, wrists and spine)
I definitely feel more knowledgeable about vitamin D thanks to Ddrops. I am certainly going to continue taking Ddrops for my children and myself all year round.
To find out why you should take Ddrops please visit their web site.
