HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Baby's Super Daily D3 400 IU (10 mcg) by Carlson

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: vitamin D (also called cholecalciferol), supplied as 400 IU (10 micrograms) per dose in liquid form. The only other ingredient is medium chain triglyceride oil, an inactive ingredient that helps deliver the vitamin D.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Vitamin D supplementation for infants.
  • We looked for evidence on: Infant development, Child growth, Low birth weight, Prematurity, Fetal and premature infant mortality, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Effective" for Rickets (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Effective" for Vitamin D deficiency.
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, Low birth weight, Fetal and premature infant mortality, Prematurity, and more.

Vitamin D is effective for treating rickets, osteomalacia (soft bones from vitamin D deficiency), familial hypophosphatemia, renal osteodystrophy (bone disease from kidney failure), and hypoparathyroidism (low parathyroid hormone). At this dose (400 IU daily), this product is intended to help prevent deficiency in infants and children, particularly those at risk because of limited sun exposure or dietary intake.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin D

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin D is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. The safety data notes it's often used during pregnancy at recommended amounts, though only under a doctor's guidance.

For breastfeeding, vitamin D at recommended doses is considered likely safe. High doses over time can cause vitamin D toxicity, with symptoms including excessive blood calcium (hypercalcemia), weak bones (osteoporosis) in adults, and slowed growth in children.

Because this is a very low-dose infant formulation, toxicity from this product alone is unlikely — but never give more than directed.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin D

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin D.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 716 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If your child takes a thiazide diuretic (water pill), verapamil or diltiazem (for heart rhythm), digoxin (a heart medication), atorvastatin (a cholesterol drug), calcipotriene (for psoriasis), or any medication broken down by the liver's CYP3A4 enzyme system, run it through the checker on this page before starting this product. At 400 IU daily, the risk is lower than with high-dose vitamin D, but it's worth confirming.

For each ingredient in Baby's Super Daily D3 400 IU (10 mcg) with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Vitamin D8 drug types · 715 drugs

Aluminum

Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)

Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Baby's Super Daily D3 400 IU (10 mcg) by Carlson: Common Questions

Does Baby's Super Daily D3 400 IU (10 mcg) by Carlson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Baby's Super Daily D3 400 IU (10 mcg) has a known interaction with 715 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Baby's Super Daily D3 400 IU (10 mcg) contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe for my infant?
Yes — 400 IU is a standard, well-tolerated infant dose. Vitamin D is generally safe at recommended amounts. Never exceed the directed dose, and talk with your pediatrician about whether your child needs a supplement.
Can I give this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data shows vitamin D at recommended doses is likely safe during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, use only under your doctor's guidance — your healthcare provider can advise whether you personally need it and at what dose.
What is vitamin D used for?
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and build strong bones. This low dose is meant to prevent deficiency in infants and children, especially those with limited sun exposure or low dietary intake. The data shows vitamin D is effective for treating rickets and other bone diseases caused by deficiency.
What does the liquid contain besides vitamin D?
Just medium chain triglyceride oil, which is an inactive ingredient that carries the vitamin D. There are no other fillers or additives.
Can vitamin D toxicity happen at this dose?
Not from following the directions on this bottle. Vitamin D toxicity occurs with excessive doses over time — 400 IU daily is far below the level where that's a concern. Never give more than directed.
