Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Vitamin D deficiency is common in Ireland, particularly during autumn and winter when sunlight is limited. Older adults, people who spend little time outdoors, those with darker skin tones and individuals who cover their skin for cultural or medical reasons may all have an increased risk of low vitamin D levels.
Taking vitamin D consistently each day helps maintain adequate levels. If you have osteoporosis, kidney disease, hypercalcaemia or are taking medicines that affect calcium or vitamin D metabolism, speak with your GP or pharmacist before starting supplementation.
