Can you get vitamin D in foods?

While sunlight is the primary source of vitamin D, it is also possible to obtain vitamin D from certain foods. Here are some food sources that can contribute to your vitamin D intake:

• Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout are excellent sources of vitamin D. These fish contain high levels of vitamin D3, the active form of the vitamin.
• Cod liver oil is derived from the liver of codfish and is rich in vitamin D. It is available in supplement form and is a concentrated source of vitamin D3 and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Fortified dairy products, such as dairy milk, vegan milk, yogurt, cheese, orange juice, and breakfast cereals.
• Egg yolks contain small amounts of vitamin D. The total vitamin D content can vary depending on the diet and exposure to sunlight of the chickens that laid the eggs.
