In the UK, the Department of Health now recommends all adults take a daily vitamin D supplement (containing 10μg), particularly through autumn and winter (due to less exposure to sunlight and less ability to make our own).
You can also find Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, in foods like mushrooms, egg yolks, butter and oily fish. However, getting enough through diet alone can be difficult. Vitamin D has a huge range of functions and benefits, possibly more than many other vitamins.
The science shows evidence that dietary vitamin D may help with the following benefits: • Normal muscle function • Maintenance of normal bones and teeth • Normal function of the immune system • The process of cell division • Normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus • Normal blood calcium levels
As we age, falling can become a risk factor for bone fractures for women and men of 60 and over. It has now been shown that a daily vitamin D intake of at least 20µg in this age group can help minimise the risk of falling associated with muscle weakness or instability.
The Sunshine Vitamin
Your body manufactures vitamin D on exposure to sunshine. However, low amounts of sun during the winter months, in many countries (including the UK and Europe), might mean your body can’t make enough.
Sadly, the UV rays needed for your body to make its own vitamin D cannot penetrate glass or sunscreens. This means that supplements are often the best way to ensure adequate amounts in your body and prevent vitamin D deficiency.
Supplement Recommendation for Vitamin D
The UK Department of Health recommend taking a daily supplement containing 10µg of vitamin D for all adults and children over the age of one. This is even more important in winter and autumn. Anyone with a higher risk of deficiency is recommended to take them all year round.
