Arachitol Kids Drops
Arachitol Kids Drops contain Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), an essential fat-soluble vitamin. It helps the child's body absorb calcium and phosphorus from food and supplements, promoting strong bones, teeth, and robust immune system development. It is especially useful for breastfed infants who may not get sufficient Vitamin D from breast milk or sunlight.
