Daily vitamin D pill urged for everyone from October 1

From October 1, everyone in the UK is advised to commence daily vitamin D supplementation. The essential vitamin helps keep bones, teeth, and muscles healthy, preventing rickets in children and soft bones in adults. Supplements should be taken throughout the year by infants consuming under 500ml of formula daily, and by children aged between one and four.
