Vitamin D3 is naturally synthesised in the body when sunlight directly hits the skin and offers superior absorption to the D2 form that is made from plants. Our bodies obtain vitamin D3 (which is a steroid hormone) from two sources, our diet and from the action of sunlight on our skin which drives the natural production within the body. If we all had more sun then we would have plenty of vitamin D, but in reality, we do need to obtain some from our diet, particularly during the winter months and in the elderly as the body’s ability to manufacture vitamin D declines with age.
- Each gummy provides 25µg of this important nutrient, in a delicious, apple flavour gummy with no added sugar
