Vitamin D

Vitamin D supplements provide an essential nutrient that supports several important functions within the body. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps maintain normal bones and teeth.

Often referred to as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is produced naturally in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is also found in certain foods such as oily fish, eggs and fortified dairy products. Because sunlight exposure can vary throughout the year, many people choose to supplement their intake.

The Role of Vitamin D

Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are important for maintaining normal bone health and supporting healthy teeth.

Vitamin D also contributes to normal muscle function and plays a role in supporting the normal functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin D Supplement Types

Vitamin D supplements are available in a variety of formats including tablets, capsules, liquids and sprays. Many supplements use vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is a commonly used form in nutritional supplements.

Further information about vitamin D and its role in nutrition can be found in the NHS vitamin D guide.
