Vitamin d

Vitamin D is a nutrient that our bodies need to stay healthy. It is often called the "sunshine vitamin" because our skin can make it when exposed to sunlight. You can also find vitamin D in some foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified products like milk and cereals.

To make vitamin D, it starts with the sun shining on our skin. The sunlight helps our bodies produce a type of cholesterol, which then turns into vitamin D. Some foods, like milk, are fortified with extra vitamin D to make sure we get enough of it in our diet.

You might see vitamin D listed on food labels because it's essential for strong bones and overall health. It helps our bodies absorb calcium, which is crucial for bone strength. Foods like fortified milk, cereals, and oily fish like salmon are good sources of vitamin D. Its presence on labels informs consumers that the product contains this important nutrient.
