Sometimes called the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D helps our body absorb calcium and supports our immune system and muscle function. Registered dietitian Pat MacIntosh reminds us where to find vitamin D – in the foods we eat, from the summer sun, and from supplements including multivitamins or vitamin D alone. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist to find the correct amount for you.
