“All infants, children, adolescents should get at least 400IU a day.”
The revised guidelines recommend “Breast and partially breastfed infants be supplemented with 400 IU per day of vitamin D starting within the first few days of life.”, which replaced a previous guideline that recommended for a minimum daily intake of 200 IU of vitamin D starting in the first two months of life.”
From AAP News in October “Research in adults shows that vitamin D contributes to the prevention of diseases including infection, autoimmune diseases, certain forms of cancer, and type II diabetes.” |
