In addition to supplements, children and adults can receive Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight (sun is the best and easiest way to get vitamin D. Go out before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m., when the rays are not so strong); and from taking “Vitamin D fortified milk”. Both cow's milk and many brands of soy milk are fortified with Vitamin D and are good choices for older children. Breastfeeding infants and older children not drinking milk can get their extra Vitamin D from a daily vitamin. There are few vitamins with just Vitamin D in, so you will usually have to give a multivitamin. Good choices for infants include:
• Gerber Vitamin Drops
• Poly-Vi-Sol Drops
• Tri-Vi-Sol Drops
• Vi-Daylin ADC or Multivitamin Drops
Older children and adults can just take a tablet or chewable multivitamin.
Vitamin D is found in several foods, including egg yolks, fish liver oil, dandelion greens, sweet potatoes and salmon. Herbs that contain vitamin D include alfalfa, horsetail, nettle and parsley. Natural sources of vitamin D include:
Fatty fish species, such as (Herring, Catfish, Salmon, Mackerel, Sardines, Tuna, Eel, Fish liver oils, whole egg, beef liver, etc.
Do not take high doses of vitamin D unless under the direction of a health practitioner. Vitamin D can be toxic in high doses. Do not supersede recommended dose.

M$In case you get any sort of treatments although that you are taking d vitamin you must be extremely careful. When we blend d vitamin and some medications they might get in the way and decrease the value of the vitamin d. Now whenever you fully understand this ensure that to speak to your physician and ask about the feasible interactions.

"Dr. Reinhold Vieth outlined the many differences between the two supplements and came to the conclusion,
"Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, should not be
regarded as a nutrient suitable for supplementation..."
