Vitamin D
Vitamin D is often called the 'sunshine vitamin' because our bodies naturally produce it when the skin is exposed to sunlight. However, with modern lifestyles and limited sun exposure, especially during the winter months, many people may not be getting enough.
Why is vitamin D important?
Vitamin D plays a vital role in keeping your body functioning well. It supports your immune system, helps maintain strong bones and teeth, and contributes to normal muscle function — making it an essential nutrient for everyday health.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Without enough vitamin D, your body cannot effectively use calcium, which is crucial for maintaining bone strength. This is particularly important for growing children, older adults, or anyone at risk of bone conditions.
Low levels of vitamin D may lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, or an increased risk of illness.
Where do we get vitamin D?
There are three main ways to get vitamin D:
sunlight: the most natural source
food: found in small amounts in foods like oily fish, eggs and fortified products
supplements: a practical option when sun exposure is limited
In countries like New Zealand, it can be difficult to maintain optimal vitamin D levels year-round, making supplementation a helpful choice for many people.
Combine vitamin D with vitamin K2
You may notice some supplements combine vitamin D with vitamin K2 — and there’s a good reason for this. Vitamin D and K2 work synergistically with each other to ensure that calcium is directed out of the arteries and into the bones where it helps improve bone density. Without enough vitamin K2, calcification within the arteries can occur.
