Babytol D3+K1 for you! is, as an additional source of vitamins D3 and K1, intended for the nutrition of premature babies and new-borns on a natural diet. It is also recommended as a dietary supplement to new-borns on a mixed diet with a small amount of adapted milk used as a supplement. Adapted milk for new-borns is enriched with vitamin K1. If the baby is on a mixed diet and takes up to two servings of adapted formula per day, an additional intake of vitamin K1 at a dose of 25 mcg is recommended by the end of the third month after birth, via the product Babytol D3 + K1. For additional intake, it is sufficient to use one capsule per day.
Vitamin K1 in very small quantities passes through the placenta, so babies almost do not have it at birth. It is synthesized in the gut, naturally, by good bacteria. The development of these bacteria in the gastro-intestinal tract of the baby takes time.
Breast milk contains vitamin K1 only in trace amounts and its quantity is very modest. In the aim of prevention, in order to protect the baby, in most European countries, the baby must receive 1 mg of vitamin K1 immediately after birth in the maternity ward. In accordance with the recommendations of the associations of pediatricians, neonatologists and the Ministries of Health in most countries, prolonged oral administration is also recommended.
An additional intake of 25 mcg per day is recommended from day 8 until the end of the third month after birth
Vitamin D is especially important in the earliest period of life, when the baby is growing and developing intensively. Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for rickets. It is a disease that causes the bones to soften and deform. This makes them soft and easily pliable
Babytol D3+K1 vitamins for babies contain 25 mcg of vitamin K1 and 400 IU of vitamin D3.
Vitamin K1 is also known as the "coagulation vitamin."
It is particularly important in the first three months of life, as its deficiency is a risk factor for the development of late hemorrhagic disease.
Vitamin D3 is also called the "sunshine vitamin."
Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for the occurrence of rickets, making its supplementation especially important during autumn and winter.
Olive oil
Vitamins are dissolved in olive oil without allergens, enabling better absorption and utilization of these vitamins.
The simplest way of administering – twist-off capsule
Simply twist, pull, and remove the top of the capsule, then squeeze the content directly into the baby's mouth.
Breastfed babies
After leaving the maternity ward, the application of vitamin K1 is recommended at a dose of 25 µg daily, from the 8th day until the end of the 3rd month after birth.
Bottle-fed babies
If the baby has switched to mixed feeding with more than two servings of formula per day before the 3rd month, you can switch from Babytol D3 + K1 to Babytol D3 + DHA Omega before the 4th month.

Avoiding severe vitamin D deficiency improves immune health and reduces susceptibility to autoimmune diseases.
Children under 12 months of age need 400 IU of vitamin D warning icon every day. Children aged 12 to 24 months need 600 IU of vitamin D every day.
It recommends that all infants and children, including adolescents, have a minimum daily intake of 400 IU of vitamin D starting shortly after birth.
All newborns should receive vitamin K prophylaxis, because it has been proven that oral and intramuscular prophylactic vitamin K given after birth is effective in preventing classic hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.
Vitamin K1 is also called the “coagulation vitamin” – it plays a very important role in complex blood clotting processes.
K1 deficiency is a risk factor for the development of late hemorrhagic disease.
If you give your baby more than two servings of milk formula per day, then it does not need vitamin K1, because it takes it in a sufficient dose through formula.
If the baby takes more than two servings of milk formula per day, continue vitamin D3 at a dose of 400 IU.
Human milk contains low concentrations of vitamin K1, so at average breastfeeding of 500 ml/24h, daily vitamin K1 requirements are not provided, which are increased in the first 6 months of life in the range of 1 – 25 µg.
Due to the low concentration of vitamin K1 in breast milk and the risk of vitamin K1 deficiency, all babies on a natural diet, in accordance with European and national recommendations, are recommended prolonged oral administration of vitamin K1 at a dose of 25 µg from day 8 to the end of the third month after birth.
Milk formulas are already enriched with vitamin K1, and depending on the daily intake of milk, the baby ingests about 50 µg of vitamin K1 per day through formulas.
If the baby takes more than two servings of formula per day, oral supplementation of Babytol D3 + K1 is not necessary.
If you have continued the use of Babytol D3 + K1 and your baby is taking the formula, do not worry, nothing bad will happen, because overdose at these doses is not possible.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Vitamin K1 at the recommended dose does not have any side effects, it can only help and protect your baby, so you can use it without any issues.
Late hemorrhagic disease is a severe and serious disease, which occurs due to a lack of vitamin K1. It most often occurs in the period from 2 to 12 weeks of life, with severe bleeding, most often cerebral.
Due to the serious and severe consequences of this disease, prophylaxis is mandatory in all newborns in the maternity hospital immediately after birth, at a dose of 1 mg administered by intramuscular injection.
In addition, in all newborns on a natural diet, in accordance with European and national recommendations, prolonged oral administration of vitamin K1 from day 8 to the end of the third month after birth is recommended.
Babytol D3+K1 is a combination of two important vitamins essential for your newborn in a daily dose.
The product is used from the 8th day of birth until the end of the 3rd month in newborns who are on breast milk and newborns who are on a mixed diet, with less than two servings of adapted formula during the day.
Vitamin A is not recommended in daily supplementation in newborns because breast milk is rich in this vitamin and there is no need for additional supplementation. It is also contained in the formulas in the recommended amount. Like vitamin D3, Vitamin A is liposoluble and higher than necessary amounts are deposited in the body of newborns and can lead to side effects.
The vitamins are dissolved in olive oil, which is completely safe for use in newborns and does not contain allergens.
The occurrence of cramps in newborns cannot be caused by vitamin D3 or vitamin K1
