The announcement of this UK government review reflects the fact that there is a growing mountain of evidence to support the important roles played by vitamin D in the prevention and control of diseases.

A lack of vitamin D has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, depression, miscarriage, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, COVID-19, and many other health problems. Research suggests it could also triple the risk of an early death.
