Vitamin D
- Question
- Hello,
Cold you tell me how much of vitamin D (in unit) is required for a 2 years old child with CF and pancreatic insufficiency. Thank you - Answer
- Hello,
The European consensus recommends to start with 400 to 800 units of vitamin D per day and to adapt to blood concentration. Sometimes doses of up to 2000 units are required.
You can find these guidelines on the ECFS website:

Sincerely,
Dr Sophie Ravilly
