Should kids take vitamin d supplements?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Absolutely, especially if they live in a temperate zone. Increase dose in winter and decrease or skip in summer depending on sun exposure. D3 1000 to 2000 iu daily is a decent dose.

Check blood: Vit d deficiency is widespread. It is made in the skin by the action of sunlight. Blood level should be between 60 and 80.
