Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the body, influencing bone health, metabolism, immunity and disease prevention. A recent survey revealed that a significant portion of the Brazilian population has a deficiency or insufficiency of this vitamin.

To activate the production of vitamin D, daily sun exposure for 15 minutes is recommended, without sunscreen, preferably with arms and legs exposed.

In addition, a diet rich in foods that are sources of vitamin D, such as fish, seafood, eggs and milk, is also important.

Recommended doses of vitamin D vary depending on factors such as sun exposure and skin color. Individuals who are obese or have absorption problems may need larger doses.

As for the best time to take vitamin D, experts say there is no substantial difference between morning and night. The important thing is to take the supplement regularly, preferably with foods rich in healthy fats to facilitate absorption. The information is from MetrĂ³poles.
