Helps reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis
Vitamin D is an important nutrient that helps absorb calcium, forms bones, and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
It is a special vitamin that is biosynthetic in the skin when it receives sunlight, also called as “sunshine vitamin.”
Q
Vitamin D synthesized through sunlight, is this enough?
A
In Korea, it is difficult to synthesize enough vitamin D, except during the summer, due to the four distinct seasons. People who have few outdoor activities and have more indoor activities, they may not be able to synthesize vitamin D through sunlight sufficiently.
Q
Is it possible to consume it by eating food?
A
Oily fish is a good source of vitamin D, and eggs, butter and cod liver oil also contain vitamin D, but you need to take a considerable amount to fill your intake.
