THE ‘SUNSHINE VITAMIN’


As statistics released by Mintel show a major increase in the sales of vitamin D, PiF considers whether vitamin D really can prevent COVID-19...


N


ew research from Mintel has revealed that the nation’s use of the sunshine vitamin is growing faster than any other


vitamin supplement, but, despite the surge, experts have urged caution that people shouldn’t be taking it as a means of curbing their risk of contracting COVID-19 since not enough research has been done to establish a definitive relationship between the supplement and the coronavirus.


Deficiency in vitamin D in the United Kingdom is widespread – primarily due to the chronic lack of sunlight.


Unfortunately, only a small amount of vitamin D can be obtained from diet. Instead, the best source of vitamin D is the sun’s rays.


Unfortunately, the particular wavelength required to produce vitamin D from the sun is only available for three or four months in the summer - barring rain and cloud. Also, the skin needs to be exposed at the hottest time of the day for about fifteen minutes.
