Vitamin D

Vitamin D is unique as our bodies can produce it when exposed to sunlight. It’s essential for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium. Foods fortified with vitamin D, like some dairy products, orange juice, and cereals, as well as fatty fish like salmon, are also good sources.

A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to brittle bone conditions like osteoporosis and rickets. Given its importance, and the fact that many people live in areas with limited sunlight, vitamin D supplements are often recommended.
