During winter periods we can’t make vitamin D from sunlight because the sun is too low in the sky. Because it’s difficult to get enough vitamin D from food, Public Health England recommends supplementation of vitamin D to maintain bone and muscle health.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, muscle function and immune function. Vitamin D also contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. The skin cannot create vitamin D if covered in sunscreen or clothing, it is thought that a sun cream with SPF15 will reduce the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D by more than 95%.
