| Vitamin D- Multi Vitamin Supplements Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is
used by the body in the absorption of calcium.
Vitamin D benefit
Vitamin D promotes retention and absorption of calcium and phosphorus, primarily in the bones. Too much vitamin D may have the opposite effect of taking calcium from the bones and depositing it in the heart or lungs, reducing their function.
Vitamin D source
Like most vitamins, vitamin D may be obtained in the recommended amount with a well-balanced diet, including some enriched or fortified foods. In addition, the body manufactures vitamin D when exposed to sunshine, and it is recommended people get 10 to 15 minutes of sunshine 3
times a week.
Vitamin D is found in the following foods:
- Dairy products
- Cheese
- Butter and margarine
- Cream
- Fortified milk (all milk in the United States is fortified with vitamin D)
- Fish
- Oysters
- Fortified cereals
