The clocks go back on Sunday, 25 October. And as we head into winter, it’s worth giving your vitamin D intake a little attention. 🍂
☀️ Why does it matter?
Vitamin D contributes to normal bone and muscle function, calcium absorption, and the normal function of the immune system.
💡 What does the HSE recommend?
Ireland’s Health Service Executive advises adults aged 13–64 to take 15 micrograms of vitamin D daily during the winter period, from Halloween to St Patrick’s Day. Some groups are advised to take it all year round.
The guidance varies depending on age and circumstances, so check what applies to you.
Save this as a winter reminder, and share it with someone who might find it useful.
