Why Vitamin D Matters All Year Round

Vitamin D is produced when sunlight hits our skin, yet cloudy British skies leave many people short throughout the year. Deficiency can weaken bones, raise infection risk and even dampen mood. The nutrient helps your body absorb calcium, regulate immune responses and maintain muscle strength—crucial as we age. During autumn and winter, Public Health England recommends a daily 10 µg supplement for most adults. Pregnant women, new mums and young children qualify for our free vitamin D scheme; simply pop in with proof of eligibility. Foods like oily fish, eggs and fortified cereals provide small amounts, but supplementation is the surest route. Ask our team for personalised advice and keep your levels topped up whatever the weather.
