Vitamin D3 is naturally synthesized in the body when sunlight directly hits the skin and offers superior absorption to the plant-produced form D2. Our bodies get vitamin D3 from two sources: diet and sunlight on the skin, which stimulates the bodys natural production. Thats why its especially important to get enough during the winter months. Older adults should also monitor their levels, as the bodys ability to produce vitamin D declines with age. Studies show that many people have insufficient levels of vitamin D3 in their blood, so a supplement may be recommended.
