Vitamin D is the vitamin that is synthesized by the skin. This is why it is also referred to as the 'sunshine vitamin'. Vitamin D deficiency can occur due to factors that will lead to reduced exposure to sunlight. Some of these are: Dark-skinned people, application of too much sunscreen, prolonged winter months, housebound people due to age or illness.
An sunshine exposure of at least 45-60 minutes per day is considered adequate to prevent vitamin D deficiencies which include bone deformities like rickets among other health complications. It is important to include a balanced diet to achieve greater health.
