VITAMIN BOOST

Help keep on top of your Vitamin D levels with our pick of the best health products

RESEARCHERS have found those lacking in Vitamin D often suffer recurring headaches

IF you suffer from regular headaches, a lack of vitamin D could be responsible.

Experts at the University of Eastern Finland have found that people who don’t get enough of the vitamin are more likely to suffer recurring head pain. Vitamin D deficiency is also linked to rickets, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer.

Around one in five adults are thought to be lacking in the “sunshine vitamin”, but 79 per cent ignore government prompts to take a supplement.
