Vitamin D

Vitamin D is sometimes known as the “sunshine vitamin” because vitamin D is most commonly produced by your skin in response to sunshine.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) vitamin D is proven to contribute to the absorption and utilisation of both calcium and phosphorus, and therefore supports healthy bones and teeth. It has also been shown to contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

Sadly, vitamin D levels in food can be famously low, while sunshine in the UK isn’t strong enough to permit vitamin D synthesis throughout much of the year. The Department of Health recommends that everyone should consider supplementation during the Autumn and Winter. For this reason many people opt to supplement their diet with vitamin D capsules or tablets.
