A new study has found that 57% of UK adults have low vitamin D levels.
Vitamin C is produced in the skin after exposure to sunlight or by eating fish, beef liver, eggs and cheese, and is necessary for immune, bone and muscle health.
You need 10 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin D per day.
You can get vitamin D from the sun, but taking a supplement is recommended.
Today we’ll look at how to level up.
shot
Rugby union legend Jonny Wilkinson founded kombucha company No1 Living in 2018 to help people understand the role of a healthy diet and how it contributes to their health.
Now he has introduced gut health shots, one for immune health and one for brain health.
I tried “Gut and Immune,” which contains 4.5g of prebiotic fiber, over 1 billion live cultures with gut-friendly probiotic bacteria, vitamin D3 from algae, and vitamin C from acerola cherry.
It contains no sugar but has a very sweet tropical flavor.
A single 60ml shot costs £2.

It is designed as an all-in-one solution to support your overall health and wellness.
It is very tasty.

pill
If you want a simple supplement with no frills, choose the tablet form.
Nutravita Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2 is a good choice.
Vitamin D supports healthy muscle function, normal blood calcium levels, and healthy bones.
But when used in conjunction with Vitamin K it works wonders.
Vitamin D alone can help with calcium absorption, but vitamin K, found in animal foods such as beef liver and cheese, is a nutrient that helps bones use calcium effectively.
They work together to enhance each other’s benefits to better support bone and heart health.
This four-month supply of one tablet contains 75 mcg of Vitamin D and 100 mcg of Vitamin K2.
You can buy 120 vegetarian capsules for £12.99 (nutravita.co.uk).
