Optimal Daily Intake: The current recommended intake of vitamin D is 5 micrograms up to age 50, 10 micrograms between the ages of 51 and 70, and 15 micrograms after age 70. Optimal intakes are higher, though, with 25 micrograms (1000 IU) recommended for those over age 2. Very few foods naturally contain vitamin D. Good sources include dairy products and breakfast cereals (which are fortified with vitamin D), and fatty fish such as salmon and tuna. For most people, the best way to get the recommended daily intake is by taking a multivitamin, but the level in most multivitamins (10 micrograms) is too low.

Here you go. It is in a lot of fortified foods, like milk, dairy foods, and bread and cereal. It is also in fatty fish and fish oil.
Your body makes it after being exposed to sunshine. It is good to get some sun, about an hour a week.
