What is Vitamin D and Why is it Important?
BetterYou Vitamin D supplements support healthy bones, muscle function, and your immune system. Our pioneering oral sprays deliver nutrients quickly through fast absorption into the bloodstream. With varying dosage options, our vitamin D supplements can be taken daily and enjoyed by the whole family.
How Much Vitamin D Per Day?
Vitamin D is essential for overall health and wellbeing. It helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, supports normal muscle function, and contributes to a properly working immune system.
While your body can produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, many people in the UK struggle to get enough. Diet alone is often insufficient. Factors such as limited sun exposure, age, or lifestyle can increase the risk of deficiency. Supplementing with vitamin D is a simple way to ensure your body gets the daily support it needs.
Benefits of Vitamin D Supplements
Vitamin D has a number of benefits and important roles within the body.
- Bone support - Vitamin D supplements can help maintain healthy, strong bones. The vitamin plays a vital role in the absorption of calcium, an essential bone supplement.
- Immunity - Taking a vitamin D supplement regularly can also help to boost your immune system, fighting off infection.
- Conception - Maintaining normal levels of vitamin D is important for partners trying to conceive, as well as taking vitamin D in pregnancy.
- Balanced mood - Serotonin (the “happy hormone”) levels in the brain can be affected by the sunshine vitamin.
- Muscle function - Vitamin D supplements can encourage proper strength and healthy muscle recovery.
- Teeth strength - Just as a vitamin D supplement can support your bones, they also help promote strong teeth.
Due to the climate in the UK, many people suffer from vitamin D deficiency without even realising.

Who Needs Vitamin D?
Public Health England (PHE) recommends everyone take vitamin D supplements during autumn and winter. There are at-risk groups to be aware of:
- Those pregnant or breastfeeding - Including vitamin D supplements in your pregnancy supplements can help infant growth and development.
- Children under 5 - Any child could be at risk of developing rickets if they do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight, diet, or children’s vitamins.
- Vegans - People who avoid meat and other animal products in their diet may be more at risk. Our vegan supplements are made with only plant-based ingredients to support these diets.
- People with lower sun exposure - In the UK, UVB rays aren’t strong enough between November and March for vitamin D production.
- People 65 and over - The body finds it harder to make vitamin D as you age., increasing the risk of falls and fragility fractures, so taking a daily vitamin D supplement is recommended.
