What are sources of vitamin d?

Sun and foods: The flesh of fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and fish liver oils are among the best sources. Small amounts of vitamin d are found in beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Some mushrooms provide vitamin d2 in variable amounts. Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals often contain added vitamin d, as do some brands of orange juice, yogurt, margarine and other food products.

Sunlight, oily fish: 30 minutes of sun exposure produces about 15000 units of d3. Milk is generally fortified with d. Other natural sources of d are oily fish, such as cod, mackerel, and salmon. Many people take cod liver oil capsules to get their vitamin d.
