Vitamin D and its Sources

Known as the “sunshine vitamin” it is produced when UV rays from sunlight strike bare skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. For most people the most important source of vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight. However, most Europeans live too far from the equator to get enough from sunlight alone

Factors that can inhibit vitamin D3 production include time of day exposed to sunlight, season, latitude, skin colour, age, clothing, and sunscreen use.

Only a small number of foods contain substantial amounts of vitamin D. Oily fish, including salmon, mackerel and trout contain the largest amounts of vitamin D3. Cod liver oil is a rich source of vitamin D3. Smaller amounts are found in eggs.

Studies have shown upto 70% of Europeans are Vitamin D deficient.

It is important to choose a high quality, optimum potency Vitamin D3 product.
