With one in 10 deficient in vitamin D, the government is exploring new ways to boost the UK’s intake.
There are two important forms of vitamin D - D2 and D3 . D2 generally comes from plants, such as mushrooms, while D3 comes from animal sources, such as eggs and fish, as well as our skin when it is exposed to the sun. Both D2 and D3 can be found in supplements.
"Other food sources of vitamin D that are suitable for vegetarians and vegans are foods fortified with vitamin D such as some plant oil-based polyunsaturated fat spreads, some plant-based dairy alternatives - choose unsweetened versions - and some breakfast cereals - where fortified with a form of vitamin D suitable for vegans."
A total of 30% of UK adults said they were spending less than an hour outside on an average day, while 64% said they were spending two hours or less outside. "There are still people facing barriers to good bone health, and we're concerned that the rising cost of living might prevent even more people from following the advice to supplement," he says.
