Vitamin D deficiency warning: What are the symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency?

You can top up on vitamin D by spending time in direct sunlight during the summer months.

But during the winter, the shift of the Earth’s axis means our bodies find it difficult to manufacture enough vitamin D.

Combined with spending more time indoors this winter, owing the Covid winter lockdown, you should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement, the government revealed.

Aim to take a 10mcg supplement everyday between October and March, it said.
