Description: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin known as the "sunshine vitamin" because the skin produces it when exposed to sunlight. It plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones by aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D also supports the immune system, cell growth, and brain health. Dietary sources include fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods, and supplements are available when sun exposure is limited. Both deficiency and excess can have health implications, so it's important to maintain an appropriate balance. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
