Ireland Recommends Vitamin D Supplements for Infants

The Irish Food Safety Authority (FSAI) has recommended the implementation of a national policy of vitamin D supplementation in all infants aged 0-12 months.

The Authority’s report," Recommendations for a National Policy of Vitamin D Supplementation for Infants in Ireland," comes in response to observations that many of the country’s infants, adults, adolescent girls, and pregnant women had poor vitamin D status, placing them at risk of developing health problems later in life.

“It is evident that low intakes of vitamin D are prevalent among all age groups throughout Ireland and the recommended daily intake of 5 micrograms of vitamin D per day is not being met,” said Dr. Mary Flynn, Chief Specialist in Public Health Nutrition, FSAI.

Babies are most susceptible to developing the bone deformities associated with rickets because of the rapid growth and development that occurs during the first year of life and the likelihood of having insufficient stores of vitamin D to meet their needs. It is therefore necessary to adopt a clear, simple, and safe recommendation. We conclude that all infants aged 0-12 months living in Ireland would benefit from vitamin D supplementation,” she said.

Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams !!!!

Expanding Your Downline


Here are some tips that may help you expand your downline:

  1. Send a personal welcome to each of your new downline members. Let them know where to find training tools, and make yourself available to help them get started on the right path.


  2. Make sure each individual understands the program they've signed up for. You can't effectively sell what you don't know about. Explain the things they may be uncertain about.


  3. Show them the benefits of being a part of your team. Give them your contact email address, and let them know their sponsor is a real person – like them.


  4. Teach them to duplicate what you've done. The big "ssh-ssh" secret in marketing and downline building is not how many people you can recruit – it is how well you can motivate your team to duplicate your efforts. Bottom line - you will never be successful if your team isn't.


  5. Make them feel wanted. Share your recruitment "secrets." Create a chain effect by having them pass that information onto their downline. Keep them motivated by sharing info on e-books, and resources or tips that you've found to be successful. Ask for their ideas for making the team stronger. If you have a website, provide a discussion board or blog so your downline can meet, share tips, and even brain-storm.


Remember, everyone is not the same. You may have a member in your team who may not be as successful in recruiting and training as the others. Do not let them fail! Spend the extra time with them. Your hard work will be reflected in your commission check(s). That particular member might be going through a rough time at the moment.

If you are not good at following-up or contacting people, there are many systems on the market that will provide this service. Each individual is different – you may not be very adept at public speaking or keeping in contact with your downline. If you are such a person, try to find a system that can easily automate these tasks for you, or share the workload with others who have these strengths. The key to a great team is maximizing the strengths of each member.

Always treat your downline members as your business partners. That's what they really are. For your partnership to be successful, you need to build a personal relationship with them. Let them know you can be contacted for advice on any aspect of the business. You are only as good as your team, and your success is dependent on the team's effort.
