Vitamin D is very important for the human body as it plays an important role in various functions of the organism, such as calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal system, muscle health, heart health, bone health, immune function, etc. Vitamin D is commonly found in various foods we consume daily, but the human body can produce vitamin D itself as well when it is being exposed to sunlight. However, many people don’t get enough vitamin D, so vitamin D supplements are often recommended.
