Vitamin D, known as the “sunshine vitamin,” is synthesized in the body when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but it is also obtained through the diet from foods rich in this valuable nutrient.
Insufficient exposure to the sun, frequent use of sunscreen, diet, the skin’s melanin content, and age are the most common causes of vitamin D deficiency.
