Vitamin D is also known as the sun vitamin, because unlike other essential nutrients, it can be produced by our body itself through exposure to UV light. However, in addition to spending time outdoors, the angle of incidence of UV-B rays also plays an important role for synthesis and this is not sufficient in large parts of Europe during the winter months.
Therefore, the German Nutrition Society recommends a daily intake of 20 µg vitamin D. However, it’s occurrence in nature is very limited -significant amounts are mainly found in fatty fish such as salmon and herring.
Since vitamin D has many important functions in our metabolism – such as maintaining healthy bones and the function of the immune system – it is advisable to use dietary supplements in cases of lacking endogenous synthesis and a vitamin D-poor diet.
