Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and facilitating normal immune system function.

Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance to certain diseases.

So benefits we can get from vitamin D are :
1. Keeping teeth and bones
2. Helps the body in using calcium and phosphorus
3. Can prevent rickets disease.
4. Reduces depression.
5. boosts weight loss for diet.

Food sources of vitamin D
Few foods contain vitamin D naturally. Because of this, some foods are fortified. This means that vitamin D has been added. Foods that contain vitamin D include:

1. Salmon
2. Sardines
3. Egg yolk
4. Shrimp
5. Milk (fortified)
6. Cereal (fortified)
7. Yogurt (fortified)
8. Orange juice (fortified)

It can be hard to get enough vitamin D each day through sun exposure and food alone, so taking vitamin D supplements can help.
