Children's need for vitamin D has never been greater. Use of sunblock and sunscreen, as well as indoor activities such as video games and movies on demand, have sharply reduced children's exposure to the sun, their natural means of producing vitamin D. Experts recommend additional supplemental vitamin D - in particular, the bioavailable active form, vitamin D3 - for optimal growth and long-term health. Delicious Animal Parade® Sugar Free Vitamin D3 is bursting with juicy, natural, black cherry flavor and features the fun animal shapes children love!
