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?

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.
