Supporting Your Body with Vitamin D

Vitamin D, often called the “sunshine vitamin,” is an important nutrient that supports many of your body’s normal functions. Including vitamin D as part of your daily routine can help maintain overall wellness.* 

What Vitamin D Supports 

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays a role in: 

• Supporting calcium absorption for strong bones and teeth*
• Helping maintain normal immune system function*
• Supporting normal muscle function*
• Contributing to overall wellbeing*

Why Vitamin D Intake Matters 

Not everyone gets enough vitamin D from sunlight and diet alone. Factors that may influence vitamin D status include: 

• Limited sunlight exposure (shorter days, living in northern climates, or spending more time indoors)
• Dietary patterns (since few foods naturally contain vitamin D)
• Age-related changes that can affect nutrient absorption
• Individual differences, such as skin tone, which can influence vitamin D production from sunlight 

Ways to Support Healthy Vitamin D Intake 

• Enjoy Sunlight Safely: Short, appropriate periods of sun exposure can help your body produce vitamin D naturally.
• Choose Vitamin D Foods: Include options like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods.
• Consider a Daily Supplement: A vitamin D supplement can be a convenient way to help fill nutritional gaps.* 

The Bottom Line 

Vitamin D plays a valuable role in helping your body maintain normal functions like bone health, muscle activity, immune support, and overall wellness.* By combining safe sun exposure, nutrient-rich foods, and supplements when needed, you can help ensure you’re giving your body the vitamin D support it needs every day.*
