Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that include vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It can affect as many as 2,000 genes in your body. Your body produces vitamin D naturally when it’s directly exposed to sunlight.

Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorous, and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases.
