Vitamin D plays a vital role in the overall wellbeing and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Many national governments now recommend vitamin D supplementation for the entire population, due to the many benefits of this key nutrient. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing vitamin D especially during the autumn and winter.

However, many areas of the world receive insufficient sunlight and even in sunny areas, many choose to limit their exposure due to the negative health effects of excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays. These factors have led to widespread low vitamin D levels in many parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is vitamin D?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin found in foods such as mushrooms, oily fish, butter and egg yolk. \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D has functions and benefits that are probably more wide ranging than any other vitamin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere has been huge renewed interest in vitamin D recently, with new global research showing that the health benefits of this nutrient stretch beyond bone health.

D3 is ideal because it is the specific form made in the human body and therefore more effective than D2 which is found in some supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D - the sunshine vitamin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile our bodies manufacture vitamin D on exposure to sunshine, the levels in many countries is so weak during the winter months that our body can make very little, meaning that dietary supplements are often the best way to safeguard intakes of vitamin D. Many populations, including the majority of those in Europe, require an additional dietary source of vitamin D to achieve and maintain an adequate status of this important vitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the body does not generate vitamin D when sitting behind a glass window, whether in your car or at home, because these UV rays cannot penetrate glass to generate vitamin D in the skin. Sunscreens, even weak ones, while essential to protect the skin, can affect the body's ability to generate vital vitamin D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D in the diet and health benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is naturally present in some foods (e.g. oily fish such as herring, sardines, fish liver oils, eggs, butter) and in a few foods that are fortified (e.g. margarine, some cereals, some yoghurts). Vitamin D is fat soluble, therefore advice to eat lower fat diets may contribute to reduced intakes from foods and hence dietary supplementation may be needed. In the UK, an average diet provides 3-4 µg of vitamin D per day and only a little more if oily fish is consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere are several reasons why vitamin D supplementation may be especially recommended, including:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore time being spent indoors, especially during the autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncrease focus on vitamin D and its emerging role in supporting normal immune system function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGovernment health advice to reduce sun exposure which can mean less Vitamin D is produced naturally by the body.\u003cbr\u003eReduced sun exposure in some groups of the population e.g. older people, those who cover their skin, certain occupations, medical reasons and those with darker skin tones (as greater skin melanin content can reduce the skin's production of vitamin D).\u003cbr\u003eIncreased requirement at certain life stages e.g. the elderly population, whose skin may not be able to synthesise vitamin D as effectively.\u003cbr\u003eThose with increased dietary intolerances (e.g. lactose and dairy) or allergies.\u003cbr\u003ePeople who are on a diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003csup\u003e*\u003c\/sup\u003eUltra Vitamin D provides D3, which is preferred form of vitamin D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNUTRITIONAL INFORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c formula-txt\" id=\"s-4968da62-2ae2-4817-9055-ba399f7fa733\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D food supplement gummies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-626956c7-1819-4260-b890-76893ac51e12\" class=\"shg-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-col-grid-mode-on=\"\" class=\"shg-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-7 shg-c-md-7 shg-c-sm-7 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\" id=\"s-8f2d0eea-e229-4d52-81fd-42b86fb46c37\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"shogun-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"shogun-table-column-container\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"shogun-table-column\"\u003eNutritional Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"shogun-table-column\"\u003eAverage per gummy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"shogun-table-column\"\u003e% NRV*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"shogun-table-row-container\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"shogun-table-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\" id=\"s-e9d324cd-1635-4ec1-a2c3-b129ce899c87\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vitabiotics.com\/pages\/vitamin-d-supplements\"\u003eVitamin D\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(as D3 1000IU)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"shogun-table-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\" id=\"s-962f1298-8b77-4f57-895e-060d97f1062d\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25μg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"shogun-table-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\" id=\"s-3c6e5262-19c6-4264-89e4-c152aeb99d49\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\" id=\"s-f2340d8c-6c9b-4e2a-982f-978710f31847\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e¹NRV - Nutrient Reference Value, µg - microgram, IU - International Units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c-lg-5 shg-c-md-5 shg-c-sm-5 shg-c-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c  shg-align-left\" id=\"s-f496b3f9-845f-4964-83b2-9fbab4694896\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-heading-component\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c ing-txt\" id=\"s-e1ff7dc4-9bdd-40a0-8861-d5b2cc013e79\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheat Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Gelling Agent: Fruit Pectin, Acidity Regulators: Citric Acid \u0026amp;
