Micronutrients & recovery

Prevention of vitamin D deficiency is a public health priority in Europe, as deficiency is easily treatable and its prevalence is unacceptable.

Ensure adequate vitamin D status, especially during winter months in Europe, through a combination of sensible sun exposure (avoiding burning), consumption of vitamin D-rich foods (like oily fish), and supplementation if necessary. This is critical for skeletal health and preventing deficiency disorders like rickets and osteomalacia, particularly for at-risk groups such as the elderly, immigrants, and those with limited sun exposure.
