Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Calcium requirements during childhood should ideally be met primarily through a varied diet, with supplementation used where appropriate.
From a pharmacy perspective:
- Calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children.
- Vitamin D contributes to normal calcium absorption.
- Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function.
- Zinc contributes to maintenance of normal bones.
- The dose is age-specific, so do not use a standard 5ml dose for all children.
- Children aged 4–6 years require 10ml daily according to the manufacturer.
- Children aged 7–12 years require 15ml daily.
- Check other supplements carefully to avoid unnecessary duplication of vitamin D, calcium, magnesium or zinc.
- Calcium and magnesium can affect absorption of some medicines, so ask your pharmacist about dose spacing if your child takes regular medication.
- A child with diagnosed bone disease, kidney problems or other medical conditions should follow individual healthcare advice rather than relying solely on a supplement.
- Food supplements should complement rather than replace a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

FAQs
1. What is Vitabiotics Wellkid Calcium Liquid used for?
Wellkid Calcium Liquid is a food supplement formulated for children aged 4–12 years. It provides calcium together with magnesium, vitamin D3, zinc and copper. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children. It is intended to complement a varied diet rather than treat bone problems or replace calcium-rich foods.
2. What age is Wellkid Calcium Liquid suitable for?
The manufacturer recommends it for children aged 4–12 years. Children aged 4–6 years take 10ml daily, while children aged 7–12 years take 15ml daily. It should not routinely be given to younger children unless advised by an appropriate healthcare professional.
3. How much calcium does Wellkid Calcium Liquid provide?
Each 10ml provides 300mg calcium. The calcium is supplied as calcium carbonate. Children aged 7–12 years take 15ml daily according to the manufacturer's directions, so their total daily calcium intake from the supplement is proportionally higher than the amount shown for 10ml.
4. Does Wellkid Calcium Liquid contain vitamin D?
Yes. Each 10ml provides 7µg vitamin D3. Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children.
5. Does it contain magnesium and zinc?
Yes. Each 10ml provides 150mg magnesium and 3mg zinc. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and maintenance of normal bones, while zinc contributes to maintenance of normal bones and normal immune system function.
6. Is Wellkid Calcium Liquid suitable for children who do not consume dairy?
The product itself is dairy and lactose free and may therefore be suitable for children following a dairy-free diet. However, a child's overall calcium intake should still be considered. Parents concerned about restricted diets or calcium intake should discuss the child's diet with a pharmacist, GP or dietitian.
7. Is Wellkid Calcium Liquid suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Vitabiotics states that Wellkid Calcium Liquid is suitable for vegetarians. It is also gluten free and contains no dairy, lactose, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, artificial colours or artificial flavours.

9. Can Wellkid Calcium Liquid be mixed with water or juice?
The current manufacturer's directions instruct that it should be given orally and do not specifically require mixing it with water or juice. For the Lir Pharmacy page, it is safer to follow the current label directions rather than state that it can be mixed with drinks unless this is confirmed on the pack.
10. Does Wellkid Calcium Liquid need to be refrigerated?
Yes, once opened. The manufacturer advises storing the bottle in the refrigerator after opening and using it within six weeks. Before opening, it should be stored below 25°C in a dry place.
11. Can Wellkid Calcium Liquid be taken with other children's vitamins?
Do not automatically combine supplements. Wellkid Calcium Liquid already provides vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper. If your child takes another multivitamin, vitamin D supplement or mineral product, ask your pharmacist to check the combined amounts to avoid unnecessary duplication.
12. Is Wellkid Calcium Liquid suitable for long-term use?
It may be used within the manufacturer's recommended 4–12 year age range when supplementation is appropriate and the product is taken as directed. A child's nutritional requirements change with growth and diet, so ongoing supplementation should periodically be reviewed, especially where other vitamin or mineral supplements are also being given.
