When you think about Vitamin D, you're probably thinking about getting enough time out in the sun. Vitamin D is an important vitamin for the body, and you can typically get enough vitamin D from natural sources. For example, Vitamin D can be obtained by sun exposure and foods. Some foods high in Vitamin D include fatty fish, cheese, and egg yolks. However, for many people, they don't get enough Vitamin D due to diet and lifestyle.

In a recent study, research showed that people with lower levels of Vitamin D were at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This may be one of many contributing factors that increase a person's risk.

Typically, Vitamin D intake is recommended at 400–800 IU/day, or 10–20 micrograms. However, there are other studies that indicate you may need higher levels. So, it's important to talk to your doctor to see if you're getting enough Vitamin D and other essential nutrients. We encourage you to always get a test to see if you are vitamin deficient, as this can potentially cause other problems.
