Common questions
Is it better to take vitamin D with food?
As a general practice many people take it with a meal. Taking it the same way each time helps build the habit; ask your pharmacist if unsure.
What if I miss a daily dose?
Don't double up. Check the leaflet or ask your pharmacist — for everyday supplements, simply continuing your routine is usually the focus.
How do I remember a weekly vitamin D dose?
Pick a fixed weekday and set a recurring weekly reminder, since weekly schedules are easier to lose track of than daily ones.
