BBC News - Fair-skinned people may need extra vitamin D
Vitamin D is necessary for the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and helping to maintain normal bone structure, teeth and muscle function.
Healthy levels of vitamin D are essential for the absorption and use of calcium in the body. Calcium has various functions, particularly in the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. If there are insufficient levels of calcium the body begins to take calcium from the skeleton, making bones weaker and more prone to fractures. Vitamin D is also essential for the normal growth and development of bone in children.
Vitamin D is produced naturally when the skin is exposed to sufficient amounts of sunlight. Unfortunately, many of us do not receive enough sunlight and vitamin D deficiency is common. A recent survey showed that over half the adult population in the UK have insufficient levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D supplementation is vital for those who do not receive sufficient levels of sunlight. In addition experts recommend increased levels of vitamin D during pregnancy, childhood, and for adults over the age of 55.
