This is due to 29% of adults and 37% of children aged 11-18 having levels that indicate a clinical deficiency. Although we can synthesise vitamin D through sunlight, we all appreciate that good weather, even during the summer months, is not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of this, and for the fact that foods containing vitamin D are sparse, the Department of Health recommends that everyone considers a 400iu (10µg) vitamin D supplement through the months of September to April. 'At risk' groups such as older adults and those with dark skin are encouraged to take a supplement year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExpert Support for Vegans\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard vitamin D3 has traditionally been sourced from lanolin, meaning it is suitable for vegetarians but not vegans. Simply Supplements have chosen pine as a natural, plant-based source of vitamin D3, offering a vegan-friendly solution to help maintain healthy levels of this essential nutrient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough vitamin D2 is usually vegan-friendly, it is widely accepted to be less effective and bioavailable than D3. The main role of vitamin D in the body is helping the body absorb and utilise calcium. Thus, vitamin D has an important role in bone and muscle function. It is also a key contributor to a healthy immune system, which is an important consideration, especially during the colder, darker months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simply Supplements","offers":[{"title":"120 tablets \/ [Multibuy 1]","offer_id":64643276996957,"sku":"C510","price":3.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 tablets \/ [Multibuy 2]","offer_id":64643277029725,"sku":"C510","price":2.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/8723\/3629\/files\/Vegan-Vitamin-D3-400iu-Tablets-Front-Label.jpg?v=1774432776","url":"https:\/\/www.simplysupplements.co.uk\/products\/vegan-d3-400iu","provider":"Simply Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
