If you have ever suffered from SAD (Seasonal Affective disorder) or have a lot of bone injuries from sport or naturally ageing, then you need to really pay attention to Vitamin D and sun exposure. When I hurt my knee a few years ago, the specialist surgeon said everyone in the UK should be on a Vitamin D supplement. He said he’d have less patients but he’d still be happy. Good…
