What's rich in vitamin D?

milk

Get some sun. That is your best source of Vitamin D. Combine that with some good diary such as cheese, milk and yogurt and you should have your vitamin D levels rising soon.

Usually when someone has a vitamin D deficiency it means you need to get outside more, sunlight is a great source of vitamin D, just watch out for sunburn.

Adequate sun exposure, particularly UV radiation will catalyze the production of cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) internally. You can go to a tanery (lol I made that up just now i think) if you work nights and don’t get alot of sun.You don’t need milk for D3. Did you know we humans are the only species that habitually drinks milk past early development?

Mushroom (all varieties) are also high in Vitamin D, but shitake carry the highest concentration of Vitamin D, in the veggie dept. Spinich and mashed potatoes also provide Vitamin D. And the flaked dehydrated mashed potatoes have more Vitamin D then made from scratch. Now if you want to help your body absorb the Vitamin D…take Mangesium, Zinc, and Omega 3 oil

Salmon, tuna, cheese, egg, liver, margarine and none fat milk are good source of Vitamin D.

Seafood is the richest dietetic source of vitamin D. Mushrooms produce D3 when exposed to UV light just like we do. I notice some packages of mushrooms advertise that they were exposed to UV and are a source of D3. Eggs and liver have some vitamin D but you would have to eat a lot of these to get very much. Most Americans would not get nearly enough vitamin D from sunlight and from natural food sources which is why several foods are fortified with D. Milk, orange juice, margarine, and breakfast cereals are commonly fortified with vitamin D and these fortified foods provide most of the Vitamin D for Americans. Without fortified foods Americans who spend most of their time indoors and don’t eat seafood would get rickets, have more osteoporosis, be prone to infection, be more susceptible to cardiovascular disease and have higher rates of certain cancers. Since you are low you should be getting more vitamin D to build up your body’s stores (we can store large amounts of this vitamin). You should take high doses of vitamin D3 supplements daily for a while then cut back to a lower maintenance dose. If your doctor hasn’t made any recommendations I’d suggest taking up to 10,000 IU daily for a few weeks then going down to 2,000 IU to maintain serum vitamin D. My doctor recommends at least 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 for everyone but official FDA for vitamin D is 400 IU which is enough to prevent rickets but many studies point to health benefits for higher doses.
