The best vitamin D supplements you should buy

We found big differences between our Best Buys and those that performed poorly in our testing

You may have heard that everyone should take a vitamin D supplement. But what’s the science behind that? And are some brands better than others?

In the fourth episode of a brand new series of our health and wellbeing podcast, we sit down with Shefalee Loth, a public health nutritionist at Which?, and Sophie Medlin, founder of City Dietitians. They explain how you can naturally get vitamin D, when you should be taking supplements, and the risks of getting too much into your body.

Plus, for the first time ever, Which? has tested and reviewed vitamin D supplements from a range of suppliers. We reveal some of the best on the market, plus which of those received the coveted Which? Best Buy.

The full podcast, which includes our test results, is available only to logged-in Which? users. If you're not a member, join Which? to instantly listen to the full podcast and gain access to all our product reviews – all with 50% off your first year's membership.
