- Vitamin D is frequently referred to as the sunshine vitamin, as sunlight is necessary for its synthesis (vitamin D is produced underneath the skin following exposure to sunlight)

In the UK, the Department of Health recommends babies from birth to 1 year of age who are being exclusively breastfed should be given a daily supplement containing 8.5 to 10µg (micrograms) of vitamin D, whether or not the mother is taking a supplement containing vitamin D. The Department of Health recommends that adults and children over the age of 1 should supplement with 10µg of vitamin D a day.
Please note, the Department of Health also recommends that all children aged 6 months to 5 years of age are given vitamin supplements containing vitamins A, C and D every day unless they are having more than 500ml (about a pint) of infant formula (which is fortified with vitamins).
