Good vegetarian sources of Vitamin D ?

Just bask in the sun for quite sometime, your body will synthesize adequate amounts of vitamin D naturally when get out in the sun.

One of the best and free easy ways to get your vitamin D is from the sun. even sitting exposed for just 15 mins of sun exposure per day is enough but they say that depends on your skin. I have fair skin so that's enough for me, if you have darker skin you would need more. If you want it through food then some fish, such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, as well as fish liver oils are considered to be the best sources. Some vitamin D is also present in beef liver and egg yolks. I personally actually take a vitamin D supplement 3 times a week because I was working indoors and never got enough sun. Hope this helps

The recommended intake of Vitamin D is 200 international units a day for adults under the age of 50. Most people living a healthy lifestyle should easily produce this amount (on average) through 10 to 15 minutes exposure to sunlight each day 3 or 4 days a week. Vitamin D is produced by our bodies naturally when the skin is exposed to ultra-violet light and the cheapest and most readily available source of this is sunlight. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which can be stored, so provided that the body makes enough during the sunnier months of the year, the reserves can be stored for use during the winter. Vegetables, with the notable exception of mushrooms, are generally very poor sources of vitamin D. The commonest dietary sources of vitamin D for vegans will therefore be from products (such as soy milk, margarine and cereals) which have Vitamin D added to them. Very few people indeed should need to worry about their Vitamin D levels. Those most at risk will be people who rarely or never expose themselves to the sun or who live in very northerly (or southerly) latitudes with long, sunless winters. If you allow eggs and fish in your diet, then eggs from free range chickens and certain types of oily fish are good sources of the vitamin.

Good news if you like tofu, one serving provides 581 IU of vitamin D. One cup of mushrooms provide 168 IU of vitamin D. Get some sunshine each day, Smile..

Yes it is true, good for you to have also tried, keep it up.

Sometimes the best source of Vitamin D is just a daily supplement. Sunlight is obviously the most natural choice, but in wintertime this can be hard to get.

I have read at some online sources- they list milk and cheese as the major sources of Vitamin D for vegetarians. I have also seen Nutralite butter containing vitamin D. Even some of products like Corn Flakes, Wheat Flakes etc also have some good quantities of Vitamin D. In India, recent studies have shown lack of vitamin D even in places having adequate sunshine through most of the year.

Hi, I know that if you sit in the morning sunlight body exposed. We can get vitamin D in natural ways. Thank you for the response.
