As we shake off the chill of winter and step into spring, there's a collective sense of renewal in the air. The daffodils blow, days get longer and a little more sunshine peeks through the clouds. But while the UK spring offers a welcome mood boost, it is also a critical time to pay attention to your Vitamin D levels.
Often misunderstood as a "winter-only" concern, Vitamin D deficiency remains widespread in spring, especially in the UK's unpredictable climate. In this article, we'll explore why Vitamin D matters just as much in March, April and May as it does in the colder months and how Pro D3 is here to support your health with trusted, high quality UK manufactured formulations for all lifestyles.
Why Vitamin D Still Matters in Spring? 🌤️
1. Spring Sunlight Isn't Always Enough
-
- Although the clocks go forward and daylight increases, spring sunlight in the UK may still be insufficient for effective Vitamin D synthesis. For your skin to produce Vitamin D, UVB rays must reach a certain intensity. In many parts of the UK, especially in early spring, the sun's UVB strength is still too low - even on clear days.
- According to the NHS, the body may not make enough Vitamin D from sunlight until late spring to early summer, particularly in Northern areas of the UK.
2. Winter Stores are Depleted
-
- Even if the sun is shining, most people's Vitamin D reserves have already been used up during the long, dark winter. Without topping up, many people begin spring already in a depleted state. Symptoms like fatigue, low mood, frequent illness and muscle aches may linger well into spring as a result.
- Data from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey has shown that nearly 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 children have low Vitamin D levels in spring.

3. Immune and Mood Support are Still Vital
-
- Spring is often seen as a fresh start, but it also brings its own health challenges - such as seasonal Coles, hay fever and lingering low energy. Vitamin D helps regulate immune response, reduce inflammation and support mood stability. After a long winter indoors, it can help both the body and mind spring back to life.
- A study published in the BMJ found that Vitamin D supplementation is associated with a reduced risk of respiratory tract infections - useful during seasonal transitions.
