Vitamin D deficiency symptoms and foods that are high in it

With winter well and truly upon us, it's important to make sure we have enough vitamin D.

Between October and early March, humans do not make enough vitamin D from sunlight. Vitamin D is important as it helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body

These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children, and bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.
