We’re frequently asked in our comment section about: vitamin d comes from. Truth is we’ve been delaying this article for a while until we had enough information & facts to allow us to enlighten our readers.
What Is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that primarily aids calcium absorption, promoting growth and mineralization of your bones. There is significant debate within the scientific community about how much vitamin D your body needs. While the U.S. National Academy of Medicine considers 600–800 IU of daily vitamin D to be sufficient for the majority of the population, the U.S. Endocrine Society recommends 1,500–2,000 IU per day
Good Sources Of Vitamin D
But between October and early March we do not make enough vitamin D from sunlight. In the UK, cows’ milk is generally not a good source of vitamin D because it is not fortified, as it is in some other countries.

Tamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally.
A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone diseases such as osteoporosis or rickets. Vitamin D also has a role in your nerve, muscle, and immune systems. Your body forms vitamin D naturally after exposure to sunlight.
However, too much sun exposure can lead to skin aging and skin cancer. Check with your health care provider to see how much you should take.
Why You Need Vitamin D3
Our bodies make vitamin D3, cholecalciferol.
D3 is slightly more potent. The main difference between the two supplements is how they are made. D3 comes from animal sources, although it can be made from lichen.
If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you’ll want to read labels closely.
