Anonymous Coward User ID: 897561 Australia 03/24/2010 02:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just received my order for D3. I got the 5,000 IU softgels. My question: I know this dose is ok for my husband and myself, but is it OK for my children? Is 5,000 IU / day too much for them? They are ages 2,5,7. They wouldn't be any good at swallowing vitamins - so how could I give them the vitamin? Can it be chewed? Or, does it need the gel cap to get through the stomach? I don't want to give them too much of a good thing. I may not even give it to my 2 year old - even though he seems to be the one bringing all those nasty germs home to the rest of us! LOL! I could go and get a smaller dose for the kids if it would be better. From what I've read on the toxicity info - it would take a heck of a lot more than that... but that info was for adults. Not sure about kids. We are coming into the winter season over here and I am trying to keep us a bit healthier this season! Any Naturopaths - or well informed readers able to help out? |

My son is 4, weighs 52 pounds, and takes 1,600IU daily between his vitamin D and his multivitamin. HTH! |

I really look at it as an art. These people bust their ass day in and day out, for usually just one day of show. I've even heard of some of them consuming up to 12-15,000 calories per day (of course, not 100% of it being food). While it's true a percentage don't legally (steroids) enhance their muscle growth, non-the-less, it's still impressive. And it's still quite challenging to know where to even begin with the amount of information out there on how to train your body. I know people who have given years of their life to achieve some, if any results. It's sad that most of today's body building competitions and magazines are usually just supplement sellers, but it parallels with basically everything else in the status quo. www.pandora.com |

I'm sure they could chew it, but I don't think it would be easy or taste good. Those things tend to dissolve once they get wet. It would probably be easier to give them all liquid or the gummy vitamins. Good luck! My son loves his vitamins. I've tried all of them, and they aren't the worst things ever. If he'll eat them, I'm happy. :D |
