☀️ Vitamin D matters — especially in winter! ☀️

From October to March, our bodies can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight. To keep your bones, muscles, and immune system healthy, it’s recommended to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D 💊

You can pick up vitamin D supplements easily from most pharmacies and retailers — including right here at Brutons Pharmacy Oakeswell 💙

Stay healthy, stay topped up, and pop in if you need advice!
