☀️ Vitamin D in Winter? Even in Malta, Yes!
Winter = shorter days + weaker sun = less vitamin D production
Why it matters:
•Strengthens bones & teeth
•Boosts immunity (hello, flu season!)
•Supports mood & energy
•May reduce risk of chronic illness
Where to get it:
1. Foods such as Eggs, Fatty fish, Fortified milk
2. Supplements or POM (Prescription Only Medicine) Vitamin D
🔍 Did you know?
A study by Sanjay et al. found that:
• Supplements can vary from 8–201% of the stated dose
• POM Vitamin D is more reliable—90–97% accurate
💡 POM Vitamin D is regulated like a medicine, while supplements are not.
Please speak to your Dr or GP about which is best for you.
