As we move into the winter months, it is more important than ever to following existing Government advice on vitamin D supplements.

At this time, the evidence is insufficient to prove that vitamin D helps people respond to COVID-19.

Public Health England and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence are currently re-reviewing the evidence, which will be published in mid-December.
