Why is vitamin D prescribed?
BECAUSE the human body can't synthesize it without sunlight and as many people don't get enough solar exposition they are lacking it, and the darker the skin the more sun you need to make. It is a vitamin necessary to fix calcium in bones and many other less known functions. You can alternately get vitamin D from dairy products and fish, in fact children used to be given cod liver oil (not tasty at all) to provide for vitamin D. Children without enough develop a bone disease called rickets and adults develop osteomalacia, and it can be serious.

All the vitamins are necessary for human health, and if you are not getting enough of any particular vitamin, there is a disease that will result.

Vitamin E is not as critical, but a deficiency of it will still have a harmful effect on health.
Vitamin D can be made inside the body from?
Yes, but many people do not have enough Vitamin D. The big "D" is produced when the cholesterol in your skin is exposed to sunlight, and turns into vitamin d. NOT having enough Vitamin D can cause serious problems such as depression (making anxiety an issue), fatigue, bone softening diseases like rickets and osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and even schizophenia. 600 IUS is the recommended dosage for adults. I would also ask a doctor what they recommend, because depending on where you live the more or less IUS you will need. Also you can get Vitamin D through food intake such as cheese, butter and egg yolk.
