I have a hunch that for toddlers it is 2000 IU of D3 and infants, it is 1000 IU. Ideally of course babies should get Vitamin D3 replete breast milk directly from their mother. What did result was that Type 1 Diabetes incidence was reduced over the next 30yrs by 80%. [Intake of vitamin D and risk of type 1 diabetes. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and is important for bone development.įDA warning greatly exaggerates potential dangerġ8 June 2010 - 09:16 GMT For many years it was common practice for babies to receive 2000IU vitamin D3 daily.ĭuring that time there were no reports of toxicity. Nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, excessive thirst, frequent urination, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, muscle and joint aches, confusion, fatigue, and kidney damage are known side effects if infants receive too much vitamin D. We already know that much of the US population, including children, have inadequate vitamin D status, and consumers shouldn’t be dissuaded from providing this very important nutrient to their children.” “We also encourage consumers to continue using their liquid vitamin D products to help ensure their infants are reaching adequate vitamin D levels. “ We encourage all companies that sell liquid vitamin D products to review carefully their droppers and instructions and make sure both can be clearly understood by consumers to avoid confusion.” ![]() “ This particular issue is not related to specific cases of overdosing but rather complaints voiced by parents and/or caregivers regarding confusion over product instructions,” Shao said. This could lead to a parent inadvertently or mistakenly giving an unsafe amount of vitamin D to an infant.”Īndrew Shao, PhD, the senior vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs at the Council for Responsible Nutrition said the trade group shared the FDA’s concern about inappropriate use of vitamin D droppers, while emphasizing the fact the warning had not been provoked by cases of overdosing. The concern is that the droppers can hold a considerably greater amount of liquid vitamin D than an infant should receive. In its letter to them it stated: “FDA has concerns regarding any liquid vitamin D products that could deliver a significantly excessive amount of vitamin D. The FDA wants manufacturers to only supply droppers that hold 400IU of fluid. “We completely agree with the AAP recommendations and are not concerned with this warning,” he said. The fact some droppers hold much more than 400IU of liquid means caregivers need to pay attention so that they are using the “right tool for the job” as Wouter Claerhout, the senior marketing manager in human nutrition and health for vitamin D supplier, DSM noted. While the warning is centered around the 400IU level, the droppers themselves – and their variations - are highlighted as being problematic. “As many of these products do not require pre-market approval because they are classified as dietary supplements, we have reached out to the trade groups to help in the effort to make industry aware of this,” DeLancey said.īut no timeframes have been set for compliance. Letters had also been sent to manufacturers of the products in question. To this end, the FDA yesterday met with trade groups such as the Council for Responsible Nutrition and Natural Products Association, to urge them to urge their members to comply with the advisory. These found breast-fed and partially breast-fed infants should not consume more than 400IU (international units) of vitamin D per day.ĭeLancey emphasized that the warning was not an enforcement action but the potential for enforcement existed if manufacturers failed to alter their products so that it was clear 400IU was the recommended vitamin D maximum.
