What is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is found in numerous dietary sources such as fish, eggs, fortified milk, and cod liver oil. The sun is also a significant contributor to the body's daily production of vitamin D. Cholecalciferol is the most widely known of the vitamin D series and is a fat soluble vitamin.
