More Info
The primary source of vitamin D3 is sunlight, which converts 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin to vitamin D3 via photochemical reactions using ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B). Numerous factors such as latitude, season, air pollution, pigmentation of skin, and sunscreen affect UV-ray exposure. The US is between 30° and 45° latitude, and six months or more of each year has insufficient UV-B sunlight to produce optimal D levels. People with dark skin produce less vitamin D since melanin, a skin pigment, acts as a natural sunscreen, absorbing UV radiation. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D: fatty fish, fish liver oils and eggs from hens that have been fed vitamin D. Fortified foods, such as milk and breakfast cereals, are the major sources of dietary vitamin D intake.
