How do I get vitamin D?

Vitamin D is produced in the body when sunlight directly hits your skin. Between March and September, most people in the UK should be able to get all the vitamin D they need from sunlight. However, this is not always the case, particularly if you spend a lot of time indoors. It’s also more difficult to get the amount of vitamin D your body may need during the winter, when the days are shorter.

Vitamin D is also naturally present in some foods like red meat, oily fish and egg yolks. It’s added to foods such as non-dairy milks and breakfast cereals.

Do I need a vitamin D supplement?

Sometimes we might need a little extra support to get all the vitamin D we need, especially in the winter.
