Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that contributes, among other things, to the normal function of the immune system, normal muscle function and to maintaining normal bone structure. Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Sometimes it can be difficult to get enough vitamin D through the diet and through the sun, so a supplement may be necessary to ensure your body has an adequate supply of Vitamin D. It is especially important to add if you avoid sun exposure or not have the opportunity to spend enough time in sunlight.
