Vitamin D has been shown to improve bone health and physical strength, and it even can help to prevent depression. Unless you’re a frequent sunbather, you probably don’t get enough sun. But have no fear, that’s where Vitamin D supplements can help!

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the version of Vitamin D your body needs. D3 is more effective than the alternative, Vitamin D2, at raising Vitamin D in blood levels.
Depending on your individual health, Vitamin D is available in different multivitamins. Since Vitamin D is fat-soluble, oil-based supplements help your body to absorb it better.
Most adults need 600 IU of Vitamin D a day, but if you’re deficient, you’ll need to take a higher amount. Be careful not to take too much as an excess of Vitamin D can cause kidney damage.
