The UK’s No.1 Baby Supplement Brand
Wellbaby Drops
Wellbaby Drops has been carefully developed by Vitabiotics’ nutritional experts, and provides the exact level of Vitamin D for infants and young children, as recommended by the UK Department of Health, in a natural olive oil base. Suitable for infants from birth to 12 months.
Growth and Development of Bones
A baby is born with 300 bones and during the first years of your baby’s life the bones are growing rapidly. Wellbaby Drops provides vitamin D (as D3, the body’s preferred form of Vitamin D), which is needed for normal growth and development of bones in children. It also contributes to their normal immune system function.
UK Department of Health Recommends
The UK Department of Health recommends babies from birth to one year of age take a daily supplement containing 8.5–10 mcg of vitamin D*, and that children from one to 4 years take a daily supplement containing 10 mcg of vitamin D.
Unless they are drinking 500 ml or more of infant formula a day, as infant formula has vitamins added to it.
More Reasons to Use Wellbaby Drops
Wellbaby Drops contains no peanut oil, and no artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives, salt, yeast or lactose and is suitable for vegetarians. A measuring syringe is included in the pack.

Government surveys have indicated that some infants are not getting enough of certain nutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamin D. Once a child is old enough to consume solids, parents often face the challenge of getting young children to eat a healthy diet ideally rich in fruit and vegetables. Some foods may have a lower than expected nutritional content and be low in certain micronutrients as a result of several factors including modern farming practices, the lengthy storage of ‘fresh’ food before it is sold in some shops and over cooking which can cause certain nutrients to breakdown. It is important to promote a healthy diet and lifestyle in younger children as the starting point of good health and encourage positive eating and exercise habits for later in life.
From the makers of Pregnacare, Wellbaby Multi-vitamin Drops has been developed especially for babies to provide a safe and balanced comprehensive range of 16 essential vitamins, minerals and Swiss Alpine malt as a natural energy source. Food supplements are of course never a substitute for a healthy balanced diet.
Wellbaby Multi-vitamin Drops has no known side-effects when taken as directed. A baby’s skin can be very sensitive. Any spillage should be wiped away on contact. In rare cases, infants with particular sensitivity may experience mild temporary redness of the skin after accidental contact. If this occurs, as a precaution you should discontinue further use.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. In case of overdose, seek medical advice immediately. As with all supplementation, seek professional advice before using if your child is under medical supervision or suffers from any food allergies.
Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to be considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level.
The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV.
All Vitabiotics products have been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals.
Vitabiotics avoids ’mega dose’ levels of isolated nutrients and instead we have always stressed the importance of safe, moderate and sensible levels of vitamins and minerals, carefully balanced to maximise their combined effect, an approach which has been supported by many experts and researchers over the years.
