Participants will be asked to attend the Sensory Analysis Suite within the University of Ulster, Coleraine on a day or time convenient to them.

- On two occasions (at least four days apart), participants will be asked to test three samples of semi-skimmed milk some of which will be fortified with vitamin D3 then complete a short questionnaire.

A range of questionnaires (food frequency questionnaire, health and lifestyle, sun exposure etc) and measurements (height, weight, blood pressure, muscle strength, bone scan) will be collected over the study course in additional to a small blood sample.

If you would like to take part, please check your eligibility using the screening questionnaire at biomed.science.ulster.ac.uk/niche/Milk-drinkers-wanted-for-study.html
