Schoolboy proud of vitamin D campaign

A schoolboy who petitioned the Scottish Parliament about possible links between vitamin D and multiple sclerosis has said he is proud of what he had achieved.

Ryan McLaughlin, 14, took his case to Holyrood’s Public Petition Committee last summer.

The petition called on ministers to produce new guidelines on vitamin D supplements for children and pregnant women, along with an awareness campaign about the issue.
