Vitamin D helps to build strong bones and healthy teeth. Commonly known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin following exposure to sunlight. Most healthy adults should be able to get enough Vitamin D from being outside in the sun, unfortunately in the UK in the winter there isn’t much opportunity to get a daily dose of sunshine!
