What is Vitamin D?
- Vitamin D is a group of fat soluble steroids which aid in the absorption of calcium and phosphate by the intestine.
- Unlike other vitamins, we do not need to get Vitamin D from foods. The main source of Vitamin D is made by our own body with the help of sunlight. Our body can synthesize Vitamin D with adequate exposure to sun.
- People who are exposed to normal quantities of sunlight do not need Vitamin D supplements because sunlight promotes sufficient Vitamin D synthesis in the body.
