"Adults (including women who are pregnant or breastfeeding), young people and children over 4 years should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms (400 units; also called international units [IU]) of vitamin D between October and early March because people do not make enough vitamin D from sunlight in these months.

Adults, young people and children over 4 years should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms (400 units) of vitamin D throughout the year:

- if they have little or no sunshine exposure including because they:

- are not often outdoors, for example, if they are frail, housebound or living in a care home

- usually wear clothes that cover up most of their skin when outdoors

- are spending most of their time indoors because of the COVID‑19 pandemic

- if they have dark skin, for example, if they are of African, African-Caribbean or south Asian family origin, because they may not make enough vitamin D from sunlight.
