Why is vitamin D3 necessary for young children and when is it necessary to give a child lactic acid bacteria?
Vitamin D3 and good lactic acid bacteria, or probiotics, are essential for a child's health and development. But do you know what they are needed for and how to give them to the child? In this article, we explain why vitamin D3 and probiotics are needed, how to include them in a child's diet plan, and what is the best supplement that contains both vitamin D3 and lactic acid bacteria.
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are important for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. Vitamin D3 also supports the immune system and protects against infections. Vitamin D3 can be obtained from food such as fatty fish, eggs and dairy products, but sunlight also helps to increase vitamin D3 levels. However, in the Estonian climate, there is little sunlight, especially in winter, and food may not provide enough vitamin D3. Therefore, it is recommended to give the child a vitamin D3 supplement to ensure their normal growth and development.
Lactic acid bacteria are living microorganisms that contribute to digestion and the balance of the gut microbiota. Lactic acid bacteria live in our intestines and compete with harmful bacteria, preventing their excessive reproduction and the development of diseases. Good lactic acid bacteria, or probiotics, support the immune system and help prevent allergies and inflammation. You can get lactic acid bacteria from food, such as yogurt, kefir, and other fermented products, as well as from supplements that contain different probiotic strains. It is recommended to give the child probiotics if he has received antibiotic treatment, which can disturb the natural balance of the gut microbiota. In addition, probiotics are useful for the child's digestion, the normal functioning of the immune system and increase resistance to intestinal infections. Not every lactic acid bacteria is a probiotic. Probiotic is a lactic acid bacterium with researched and proven properties.
Bifimar® is Nordwise®'s first food supplement for children that contains both vitamin D3 and two probiotic bacterial strains: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MCC1 and Bifidobacterium infantis . These bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, are characteristic of the human body and help to maintain and restore the normal intestinal microbiota. Bifimar® is in liquid form and is easy to give to a child. Five drops a day are enough, containing 4 billion live microbial cells and 10 micrograms of vitamin D3.

Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and is especially important in the Estonian climate, where there is little sunlight. Probiotics help prevent and alleviate digestive disorders, allergies and inflammation that can occur as the child grows and tries new foods.
