Vitamins & Supplements

Ireland's northern latitude means most people make little or no vitamin D from sunlight between October and March — which is why the HSE recommends a daily vitamin D supplement for many groups over the winter. This section covers the supplements with real evidence behind them, who genuinely benefits, and how to choose products sensibly.

Important: General information, not medical advice. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting any supplement or remedy — especially in pregnancy, breastfeeding, for children, or with a health condition. Emergency: 112/999.
