Fruity…chewy… no we’re not talking about your favourite sweets! Vitamin D gummies can be a fun and tasty way to get your daily dose of the sunshine vitamin.
Vitamin D gummies are a chewable – and often much tastier – way to get your daily dose of vitamin D.
They’re a great alternative to classic tablets, especially if you struggle to swallow them or have some picky children under your care!
Our bodies make around 90% of the vitamin D it needs from direct UV light from sunshine – the skin needs to be exposed with no clothing or SPF blocking the warm rays.
Unfortunately, we can’t always get enough of the ‘sunshine vitamin’ from sun exposure – especially in the darker autumn and winter months.
This is why the NHS advises most of us to take a 10ug vitamin D supplement during the colder months, as it can be quite difficult to get vitamin D from food.
Some people are even advised to take it all year round, including over 65s, those with darker skin, people who cover up skin often, e.g., for cultural or religious reasons, and vegans.
Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients for our overall health. It’s essential for many bodily functions, including:
Yes, they can be!
It all depends on the brand, quality and dosage, but a 10ug vitamin D tablet and a 10ug vitamin D gummy should nourish your body in the same way – so take your pick!
Hate swallowing tablets? Vitamin D gummies are an easy alternative for those who struggle to take traditional tablets or capsules.
Vitamin D gummies usually have a fruity flavour, and when you compare that to a chalky tablet… there really is no comparison. If you value taste above all, you may prefer vitamin D gummies.
Unless you’re one of those pros who can swallow tablets or capsules dry, you’re going to need water or another drink to wash a tablet down – which can be inconvenient at times.
The great thing about vitamin D gummies is that you can chew them on the go without needing a drink. They're also great for taking to work, holiday or camping for the same reason.
There are two forms of vitamin D that are important for our health: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.
Animal products like fish, meat, eggs and dairy as well as a vegan-friendly fungus called lichen also naturally contain this form of vitamin D.
Research suggests that vitamin D3 is more important for our health than vitamin D2. This is why it's advised that you choose a vitamin D3 supplement or one with a combination of both forms.
Yes, vitamin D3 is often regarded as the most ‘available’ vitamin D for our bodies, so vitamin D3 gummies should be effective at maintaining healthy vitamin D levels.
These lemon-flavoured vitamin D gummies are a joy to take and give you all the vitamin D3 a day you need to thrive.
You only have to take one a day to feel the full benefits.
