What is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that the body can naturally make when exposed to sunlight or from certain food groups
Some health professionals suggest that we sit in the sunlight for 5-30 minutes each day.
Worryingly, it is estimated 50% of the global population is affected by Vitamin D deficiency
Vitamin D regulates the levels of calcium and phosphate in the body. They are required in order to keep bones, teeth and even muscles fit and healthy
An absence of vitamin D can prompt bone disfigurements, for example, rickets in youngsters, and bone pains brought about by a condition called osteoporosis in adults.
