Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that is involved in bone metabolism in the body as well as many other functions that are not fully understood. Humans do not need to supplement with Vitamin D if they are exposed to adequate amounts of sunlight, because a chemical reaction in the skin cells actually produces Vitamin D3 in adequate amounts, if sun exposure is achieved.
There are also natural food sources of Vitamin D, including egg yolks, fish oils, and several plants. Still, Vitamin D deficiencies are a prevalent problem, especially in areas of the world with longer winter seasons and less sunny, warm weather. Some foods are enriched with Vitamin D to help combat the deficiency such as milk (cow’s milk). Many adults may not drink milk, so they may be at risk for a deficiency.
