Most of our vitamin D comes fromΒ sunlight. When we go outside vitamin D is made under our skin, with the amount produced dependent on how strong the sunlight is.
However in the UK where there can be limited sunshine, especially in winter,Β vitamin D deficiencyΒ can occur.
With children from the age of 1 year all the way up to adults needingΒ 10 micro- grams of vitamin D per day, and babies up to the age of 1 year need 8.5 to 10 micro- grams of vitamin D per day – it is important to ensure we all get the right amount of vitamin D.
A 250ml glass of McQueens Vitamin D enriched milk will give you around 50% of your recommended daily reference intake! [Note: 100ml = 2.2 Β΅g (2.2 micrograms)].
This means that on-top of all of the usual benefits of milk, like being a fantastic source of calcium (whole milk – 122mg/100ml & Semi-skimmed milk β 124mg/100ml). You will be ensuring that no matter the weather or your time outside, youβll be topped up on your Vitamin D essentials.
