"Micronutrient supplements should form part of a healthy diet and lifestyle package and that food supplements have a crucial role in bridging the gap between what we should eat, and what we do eat." Professor Ajit Lalvani 15 December 2016

n a recent study from the University of Surrey, it was found that "vitamin D3 is twice as effective in raising levels of the vitamin in the body than vitamin D2" and "Those who consume D3 through fish, eggs or vitamin D3-containing supplements are twice as likely to raise their vitamin D status than when consuming vitamin D2-rich foods such as mushrooms, vitamin D2-fortified bread or vitamin D2-containing supplements, helping to improve their long term health".
