Intaking vitamin D supplement in the winter months - Penelope

Vitamin D is what makes the immune system function. Without it, our immune system would not function meaning it would not be able to to fight off infections. Infections that basically leads to colds like the flu and diseases. This is why you must expose yourself to the sun as much as you can since vitamin D generates mainly from the sun.

But we all know that the sun is not out in the winter months and this is the time of the year we get the sickest. This is why I am so on individuals taking vitamin D supplements during this time of the year. There are whole foods that contain vitamin D but not a large amount.
