Vitamin D: role, sources and authorised claims

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. In the EU, authorised claims include that vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and to normal muscle function.

The body can make vitamin D when skin is exposed to sunlight; diet and food supplements are other sources. Needs vary by age, lifestyle and season — follow national guidance and the product label.

CaliVita D-drops provide liquid vitamin D3 that is easy to mix into food or a drink. Use only as directed; do not combine several vitamin D products on the same day without advice.
