Technical Abstract:
For many decades, the vitamin D requirements for almost all pediatric populations were clear: either spend some time in the sun or obtain 400 IU daily from diet or a supplement. These guidelines took varying forms across the world, but were based on the early observation that 400 IU vitamin D daily, the approximate amount in a teaspoon of cod liver oil, reliably prevented rickets in almost any child.
