flag The UK's NHS now advises all children aged one to four to take a daily vitamin D supplement year-round for healthy bones and muscles.

flag The UK's NHS now recommends that all children aged one to four receive a daily vitamin D supplement year-round, not just in winter, to support healthy bone and muscle development. flag The advice, based on evidence that many children don’t get enough vitamin D from sunlight or diet alone, applies regardless of outdoor activity or skin tone. flag The NHS stresses that consistent supplementation helps prevent deficiencies linked to bone pain, muscle weakness, and increased fracture risk, and is safe, effective, and low-cost. flag While adults are advised to take vitamin D from October to March, children in this age group need daily intake throughout the year.
