Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s production in our skin is in response to sunlight. Our bodies produce vitamin D naturally when exposed directly to sunlight. We can also get it through certain foods and supplements. Vitamin D plays a vital role in good health. It supports healthy bone development, and it’s been linked to immune support as well. There is even emerging evidence that it protects against coronavirus.

Where to Find Vitamin D
Most foods do not contain vitamin D naturally. Because of this, some foods have been fortified. Foods that contain vitamin D include:
- salmon
- egg yolk
- shrimp
- milk (fortified)
- cereal (fortified)
- yogurt (fortified)
- orange juice (fortified)
It can be challenging to get enough vitamin D each day through sun and food alone, so taking vitamin D supplements may be the solution. Whatever it takes, commit to getting that daily dose of good supplements and make sure Vitamin D is on that list.
