WHAT ARE THE FOODS THAT CONTAIN VITAMIN D?

Foods rich in Vitamin D;

• fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel.
• egg yolk; contains 37 IU vitamin D.
• beef liver contains some vitamin D.

• Fortified foods; Cow's milk, Orange juice, Cereals and Oatmeal
• Mushrooms are also a good source of vitamin D because they can synthesize vitamin D through the sun. The only difference is that mushrooms produce vitamin D2, while humans produce vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). The human body needs vitamin D3 to get the desired benefit from vitamin D. Therefore, vitamin D2 from mushrooms is not as effective as vitamin D3.

Fruits and vegetables containing Vitamin D;

Plant sources of vitamin D are very limited. According to the National Institute of Health, trace amounts of vitamin D can be found in broccoli and carrots among vegetables, apples and bananas among fruits, and almonds.
