What You Should Know About Vitamin D



Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because vitamin D
is produced on the skin from skin oils exposed to sun light
and then the vitamin D is absorbed into the body.

Sunstroke is believed to be related to excessive intake of
vitamin D.

Vitamin D is stored in the liver as vitamin A and therefore
can accumulate as vitamin A to toxic levels.

Synthetic vitamin D appears to be more toxic than vitamin D
in it's natural source.

Vitamin D absorption can be hindered by: mineral oil and
air pollutants.

Some researchers believe that vitamin D is a hormone
rather than a vitamin as vitamin D's function is very similar
to hormonal action.

Good sources of vitamin D and foods rich in vitamin D include: sunlight, fish liver oil, egg yolk, milk, liver, salmon, tuna, and wheat germ
