We get vitamin D directly from sunlight and food. 

• oily fish – such as salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel
• red meat
• liver
• egg yolks
• fortified foods – such as some fat spreads and breakfast cereals

During the autumn and winter, you need to get vitamin D from your diet or administering injections because the sun is not strong enough for the body to make vitamin D. However it would be difficult to get enough vitamin D from food alone, so consider taking regular injections to avoid becoming deficient from it. 

Some people will not make enough vitamin D from sunlight because they have very little or no sunshine exposure.

• Are not often outdoors – for example, if they’re frail or housebound
• Are in an institution like a care home
• Usually wear clothes that cover up most of their skin when outdoors

If you have dark skin – for example you have an African, African-Caribbean or south Asian background – you may also not make enough vitamin D from sunlight.

Taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period of time can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia). This can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart.

You cannot overdose on vitamin D through exposure to sunlight. But always remember to cover up or protect your skin if you’re out in the sun for long periods to reduce the risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
