The R is back in the month and that means shorter days and less exposure to sunlight. In summer, we easily produce vitamin D in the skin through sunlight. In winter, however, the sun in our region is too weak and we don’t get outside as often. As a result, our bodies often do not get enough sunlight to produce enough vitamin D on their own. Supplementation with a supplement can be a good support during that period.

The role of vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that performs a number of important functions in our bodies. For example, it contributes to:

• the normal functioning of the immune system

• the maintenance of normal bones and teeth

• normal muscle function

• the process of cell renewal

Especially during the dark months, it is therefore wise to pay extra attention to your vitamin D intake.

Vitamin D in winter

During the winter months, we make virtually no vitamin D through the sun. From September through March, the sun power in the Netherlands and Belgium is too low for our skin to receive sufficient UVB radiation. As a result, your body can hardly produce vitamin D itself. Supplements are therefore an important way to maintain your daily requirement during this period.

Vitamin D supplement

A vitamin D supplement is a simple and reliable way to supplement your intake. There are different forms, such as individual capsules containing vitamin D3 or combinations with other nutrients such as vitamin K2 or magnesium. The correct composition and absorption is very important in these.

Supplementing vitamin D deficiency

Supplementing a vitamin D deficiency is usually done with a supplement, especially during the months of September through March. A deficiency can develop gradually if you get little sunlight for a long period of time. By taking a supplement daily, you ensure that your body gets the amount of vitamin D it needs.

Our types of vitamin D supplements

Everyone has different needs and requirements. That is why you will find different variants of vitamin D with us, sometimes also in combination with other nutrients. To make the choice a little easier, we have made a brief overview of our vitamin D range.

Which variant suits you?

Which vitamin D best suits you depends on your personal situation, lifestyle and diet. Do you prefer to choose a single vitamin D, or rather a combination with other important nutrients?

In conclusion

Winter is the time to consider your vitamin D status. From September through March, you make almost no vitamin D yourself through sunlight.
