The function of vitamin D

Many people know that vitamin D is important for maintaining strong bones and teeth. But did you know that vitamin D also plays a role in maintaining strong and flexible muscles and contributes to your resistance? In addition, vitamin D also contributes to a normal calcium level in the blood. For this reason, it is an important vitamin for our body to maintain optimum health and reason enough to ensure that you produce or consume enough of it.

How do you get vitamin D?

The greatest source of vitamin D is the sun. Through sunlight makes your skin vitamin D. In addition to sunlight, food of animal origin is also a source of vitamin D. Meat and eggs contain vitamin D, among other things. Vitamin D is also found in oily fish, such as herring, salmon and mackerel. Below you will find a specified list with a number of products that contain vitamin D:

  • Eel

Causes of vitamin D deficiency

The elderly (60+) and people with dark skin need more minutes of sunshine per day, and the same goes for people who eat plant-based. That is because they consume less food that contains vitamin D. As mentioned, sunlight is the largest source of vitamin D. The human body therefore gets most of its vitamin D from sunlight; however, in autumn and winter it is not possible to get enough vitamin D from sunlight because the sun shines less (brightly). In addition, we are also less often outside in winter compared to spring and summer, which increases the risk of a vitamin D deficiency. For this reason – especially in autumn and winter – supplementation of vitamin D is often recommended.
