Why you need more Vitamin D in the winter

Winter is upon us and so is the risk of vitamin D deficiency and infections. The irony is that in winter, when people need vitamin D the most, most of us are not getting enough. In the winter, in addition to high vitamin D food, adults should take additional vitamin D from foods and/or supplements to get at least 600 IU per day of vitamin D. People who have dark skin or avoid sunshine should eat more vitamin D year-round.
