The doctors said that people should be taking the cheap vitamin D supplements - which could be vital for bone strength and play a key role in reducing the risk of dementia
Health gurus are urging people to take an easy-to-get supplement from the age of eight to bolster their bones and potentially slash dementia risks. Doctors say vitamin D is crucial for strong bones and a big player in fending off brain decline.

Health officials recommend we all take a daily 400 IU vitamin D supplement during the greyer months, but some of us might need more. Dr Lavan Baskaran, a GP specialising in ADHD care, thinks everyone from the age of eight should follow suit. "Unless I'm on a summer holiday, I take 1,000 IU daily. If I forget, I'll feel low, anxious and tired with achy joints."
