Vitamin D Supplement | Ddrops are Sunshine in a Bottle!
Winter time in Maine can often be described as long and cold. The constant snowy and cold weather conditions, aka Snow Storm Nemo, make it hard for anyone to enjoy the sun. Before moving to Maine this past Summer, Texas was our home for several years. Living in Texas doesn’t usually come with problems of cold weather. “B” and I were able to get outside almost anytime that we wanted to. The idea of a Vitamin D supplement just wasn’t a concern in our lives, until now.
When my daughter was born last month, the nurses and pediatrician advised us to give her a Vitamin D supplement.
The vitamin D drops that we tried before Ddrops were not pleasant. Giving the supplement was a struggle, often times being spit back out followed by a crying spell.
We received an opportunity to review Ddrops Vitamin D supplment and while I wasn’t familiar with the Ddrops brand, this opportunity peaked my interest to learn a little more about them.
How Ddrops Works
Baby Ddrops Vitamin D supplement comes in a small bottle that will give you up to 90 doses.
Application of the Vitamin D drops was not what I am used to. But in a good way!
Ddrops are designed to be sucked off of a clean surface and they are virtually tasteless.
For Example…
I put a drop of the Baby Ddrops on “M’s” pacifier once a day and “B” happily licks the Ddrops Booster from the back of his hand. I wonder if he thinks its magic or pretend because it has no flavor or consistency.
The Ddrops dose is such a small amount that administering is no longer a problem. I can even put a drop in “B’s” food and he doesn’t even realize it. I wish that all medicine was this easy to give to a baby!
Ddrops is an effective and healthy way to give my babies the Vitamin D that they need to stay healthy.

We love the Baby D drops. They’re our go to for keeping well during flu season. Love that it’s just D – no dyes etc…
I like that they have baby drops from 0-2 years.
Learned that Vitamin D3 is the preferred form of vitmain D as oppose to D2
tamin D! Ddrops Company is 100% Canadian owned and operated
I like the Dora kids drop :)
Vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol) is naturally produced in the skin of animals and humans after sunlight exposure and also contained in supplements and fortified food supplements and fortified foods
Vitamin D has many benefits on multiple organs within the body. Too little can lower the immune system and increase the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes and more.
I learned: Vitamin D comes in 2 major forms, known as vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is a form that is naturally produced in the skin after sunlight exposure or vitamin D is taken in dietary foods. Vitamin D3 is the preferred form for supplementation because it is more effective in raising serum 25(OH) D levels in humans.
I like that the baby drops are only one drop per dose…easier to give to a baby a drop than a whole dropper full.
Vitamin D comes in 2 major forms, known as vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
This is what I learned: Recent studies show that more vitamin D or sunshine during infancy seems to prevent other diseases later in life, such as juvenile diabetes or multiple sclerosis.
I like that they provided a list of where we can buy their products.

Thanks for the great giveaway!

I learned that True vitamin D toxicity happens when high levels of calcium go undetected, and calcium begins to build up in organs, such as the kidneys, causing renal or bladders stones.
The drops do not have to be refrigerated and can be added to hot or cold food.
