According to Singapore's Ministry of Health, the 2010 National Health Survey found that 40% of Singaporeans were vitamin D deficient, with a further 8% classified as very deficient [1]. This isn't an isolated finding. A 2016 study by Clinical Nutrition Research Centre measured vitamin D levels directly in 114 healthy adults living in Singapore and found that roughly 42% were deficient, despite residing on the equator [2]. The researchers behind that study made the point plainly: living in a sunny, tropical region doesn't guarantee adequate vitamin D status. Similar patterns have been documented in elderly and antenatal patient groups across Singapore hospitals, as well as among indoor workers specifically, where deficiency rates of around a third have also been reported [3].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-only\"\u003e🌟\u003c\/span\u003eWhy Vitashine D3™ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost vitamin D3 supplements are derived from lanolin, a substance extracted from sheep's wool, which makes them unsuitable for vegans.
