Vitamin D3 the most bioavailable form.
Vitamin D comes in two forms, D2 and D3. D2 is found predominantly in plants, whereas D3 originates in animals and humans. As Vitamin D3 is the form made in the body it is considered far easier to absorb and therefore more effective.
Vitamin D comes from three main sources:
Vitamin D is found naturally in a small number of foods including oily fish, red meat, liver, eggs and fortified breakfast cereal. Our bodies generally rely on our skin making vitamin D from sunlight.
Vitamin D the sunshine vitamin.
Obtaining enough vitamin D from the sun is problematic in the winter months and therefore Public Health England recommends a daily supplementation of vitamin D during these months.
Should I take vitamin D all year round?
Public Health England suggest that those people whose skin gets little or no exposure to the sun take a year round daily supplement. If you feel that you do not eat enough of vitamin D containing foods it would also be good to supplement daily. For example those on a vegan diet (much vitamin D comes from animal containing products).
Why is vitamin D so important?
