Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, is also known as the "sunshine vitamin", since we produce it in our body when ultraviolet B rays, or UVB, which come from sunlight, touch our skin. We also get vitamin D from food, but it is difficult to achieve adequate income through food alone. Among the foods with good levels of vitamin D we find fish rich in fat (salmon, tuna, mackerel), beef liver, cheese, egg yolk and mushrooms. We generally only get between 10% and 20% vitamin D from food. The remaining 80%-90% should be produced by the body through sun exposure. The stages of our lives, skin pigmentation, the situations we experience and sun exposure have a huge influence on the levels of vitamin D we achieve. Due to today's typical indoor lifestyle and the use of sunscreen, vitamin D deficiencies and deficiencies are very common for the European population.1 Vitamin D plays several roles within our body. Research shows that vitamin D is important for the absorption and utilization of calcium and that it contributes to the maintenance of bones and muscles and the normal function of the immune system. Maintaining an adequate level of vitamin D throughout life is recommended by leading nutrition companies and public health authorities around the world.2 For this reason, neolife 's Scientific Advisory Board has formulated Vegan D, an exclusive blend of vitamin D ingredients from natural and whole sources to support nutrition.
