What are the sources of vitamin D?
Food Sources
Fortified foods are common sources of vitamin D [4]. In the 1930s, rickets was a major public health problem in the United States (U.S.). A milk fortification program was implemented to combat rickets, and it nearly eliminated this disorder in the U.S. [4,9]. About 98% to 99% of the milk supply in the U.S. is fortified with 10 micrograms (ìg) (equal to 400 International Units or IU) of vitamin D per quart. One cup of vitamin D fortified milk supplies one-half of the recommended daily intake for adults between the ages of 19 and 50, one-fourth of the recommended daily intake for adults between the ages of 51 and 70, and approximately 15% of the recommended daily intake for adults age 71 and over.
Although milk is fortified with vitamin D, dairy products made from milk, such as cheese and ice creams, are generally not fortified with vitamin D and contain only small amounts. Some ready-to-eat breakfast cereals may be fortified with vitamin D, often at a level of 10% to 15% of the Daily Value*. There are only a few commonly consumed foods that are good sources of vitamin D [4]. Suggested dietary sources of vitamin D are listed in Table 1.

Beisids rainwater and snow you can get vitamin D in sunlight and the pills, since i heard body cannot get it from food. let me check again.
I red this following extract
"Ultraviolet light converts cholesterol in the skin to vitamin D. This vitamin is essential for the proper handling of calcium in the body and thus in the prevention of rickets and adult osteomalacia. Vitamin D is also added to some of the food we eat. It might be possible to get too much of the vitamin this way, but not when we get it from sunlight, since the body makes only what we need. Getting out in the sun, therefore, is a good way to lower cholesterol levels in our bodies. If we expose six square inches of our skin to direct sunlight for one hour per day, we will obtain our minimum daily requirement for vitamin D.

on a similar time as the terrific thank you to get nutrition D is from the sunlight, in some cases it particularly is no longer conceivable to get the on a regular basis requirement in this way with the aid of aspects which is composed of the capability of the photograph voltaic on any given day, pores and skin colour (darker skinned people soak up much less nutrition D than lighter skinned people), distance from the equator, age, and different variables. So are you able to get nutrition D from end result and vegetables? in fact that no fruit is composed of nutrition D and mushrooms are the only vegetable that is composed of it. A serving of regularly occurring white button mushrooms encompasses a small volume of nutrition D2, it particularly is approximately 4% of the recommended on a regular basis value. although, while mushrooms are uncovered to ultraviolet B radiation, their nutrition D content textile is going up dramatically. some businesses are actually becoming particular nutrition-D wealthy mushrooms making use of this technique. to illustrate, Dole has some portobello mushrooms on the industry that furnish a hundred% of the on a regular basis recommended on a regular basis intake of nutrition D according to serving. All different foodstuff supplies of nutrition D are animal in foundation like beef, sardines, salmon, shrimp, eggs, butter, goat cheese, rooster livers, bitter cream, and milk. additionally, some ingredients like milk and orange juice are fortified with nutrition D.
