Vit D or D3 supplements

Don’t be rude, Esspee. If your assertion is correct, can you explain why the government sent out vitamin D tablets to CEV people?

The sun, even in high summer and laying out stark naked, does not provide enough vitamin D

You need the type called cholicalciferol and look into vit K to go with it. I am not giving any advice, you do the research

Absolute nonsense.

Your body makes most of the vitamin D it needs from sunshine, the remainder comes from food.

I have mine on prescription

Crissy if you are over 50 you would be better taking a calcium,vit D and vit K it's all in one tablet I get mine from Boots .

The sun shines during the winter months too. To my mind natural vitamin D has to be the best, you just get out more and keep off the SPF cream.

Not enough sun in Scotland so vitamin d is definitely recommend, unfortunately the sun is strong enough to set off my photo-reactive Rosacea. So it’s SPF for me.

I have been taking vit D3 during winter months for the past couple of years following all the advice about lack of sunlight. However, by mistake I bought some vit D tablets. Do you think there is any difference? Should I try to exchange them?

There is no significant difference between vitD and vitD3.... just ensure you are taking the correct dosage of whichever

Not so....the department of health recommendation is that a supplement of vit d is taken through the winter months ..... I get mine on prescription from GP

I think it makes no difference. I also take vitamin D as advised by my doctor. The sun doesn't provide enough in the winter.
