Standard Process Vitamins

What kind of food and vitamins supplements can i give to my four year and 14 month old kids who have ricket?

I have been given them cod liver oil, milk and fish but have not seen any improvement. Are there better food and vitamin supplement that could correct this condition more rapidly

1. I hope you joking because rickets is from malnutrtion vitamin d and calcium give them milk. in the u.s.a child services would investigate you
2. Rickets is a disease which causes soft, weak bones in children. It usually stems from a lack of vitamin D. Many cases involve hereditary factors, so make sure to bring them to the doctor frequently to monitor their progress. Since both of your children have it, heriditary factors probably predominate. Make sure your children get enough vitamin D in their diets. Fortified cereals and dairy products, like milk and yogurt and certain kinds off fish contain lots of vitamin D. Oily fish like salmon, trout, mackerel , anchovies and sardines have the most vitamin D. See the second link for a more complete list. Sunlight is important too. Make sure they get a litlle sun every day. Thirty minutes or so will help them. Since they are so young, keep them out of direct sun during the hottest time of the day, but make siure they do get sunlight. God bless you and your children. Rickets is controllable, and I wish you nothing but suceess in your efforts to do just that.
