Vigantoletteneinnahme® for children

The use of Vigantoletten® is recommended for children in the first six months of life to prevent rickets. Especially babies born in the dark season are at risk of not being able to produce enough vitamin D3 due to insufficient solar radiation and consequently having too little calcium available for bone growth. For babies born in summer, the use of Vigantoletten® is very controversial, since the body can already cover its own requirements when there is sufficient sunlight.

Due to sun protection measures, however, a calcium deficiency occurs again and again in children who have not taken a vitamin D preparation. Also with older children, who are in the growth, it can come to an undersupply, since during the growth phase an increased need of calcium exists.
