A little wisdom that is near and dear to our Coastal Kids hearts

This is a common question on top of nearly every parent’s list, recently! Though most children can receive the majority of the Vitamin D they need through sunshine and nutrition, some may require supplemental doses of this powerful vitamin! The amount of Vitamin D needed daily depends on your child’s age - ranging anywhere from 400 to 600 IU. This is best determined with the help of your Coastal Kids provider! ... Before supplementing anything in your child’s routine, we highly recommend talking specifics with your child’s doctor.

A new year means new focus on the 3 key components to a balanced and protected immune system! Talk to your Coastal Kids provider about your child’s specific needs to make a plan of protection.
