Vitamin D Sun And Supplements

Vitamin D supports bone health, muscle function, and the immune system, and it is a nutrient nearly everyone — vegan or not — has to think about, because few foods of any kind supply meaningful amounts. The skin makes it from sunlight, which works well in summer and poorly in winter at higher latitudes. For plant-based eaters the plan is the same one dietitians give the general population: sun when sensible, fortified foods, and a supplement when sunlight falls short.
