Winter wellbeing: PHA recommends daily vitamin D supplement

From October to early spring, it is more difficult to get enough vitamin D from sunlight, and while foods such as oily fish, eggs, meat, dairy products and fortified cereals can help, most people still require a daily supplement at this time of year to support healthy bones, teeth and muscles. However, during the autumn and winter months, with reduced daylight, we advise people to consider taking a 10-microgram supplement of vitamin D every day to help keep bones, teeth & muscles healthy.
