When I was in Oman many people had but-D deficiencies despite the sunshine the Omanis are always covered and avoid the mmmm being outside. Many of my British friends & colleagues were the same. They said it didn’t have to be full sunshine & recommended sitting outside for a morning cuppa would make a difference. I had my medical & my levels were fine but I love being outside

I was told ages ago I am deficient in Vit D. I have never got in the habit of taking a supplement. I will try to change that.

I was deficient in VitD when I had a blood test in winter so I've been taking multi vitamins since then.

Going to try and meet up with my friend this weekend in case London goes back into lockdown.

Cod liver oil tablets appear to be a cheaper option than Vit D tablets from the likes of Holland and Barrett.

I used to take a multivitamin every day when I got to work. I still have a jar or two in my desk that I haven’t seen in six months...

I am also out nearly every day with skin exposed even through the winter but I've been taking the winter Vit D supplement for a few years. The supermarkets do cheap ones.

If you don't like taking pills, I can recommend DLux 300 Vit D Oral Spray.

A standard Vit D3 supplement is not expensive (I was surprised how low my Vit D levels were when measured last summer - 26 nmol/L and no doubt contributed to my low bone density....)
