amount. If you take an egg daily then it will provide you 10% of Vitamin D in your
diet. It can also be found in fish oil. Sardine fishes that are found in tins easily

ounces can be taken to supply about 50% of Vitamin D that your body requires daily.
Herring and cat fish are also found to be good sources of Vitamin D because they
feed on plankton which is a part of sea life and creates Vitamin D from sunlight in
good amount. Some other sources of this vitamin are mackerel and sockeye salmon.
Studies have also proved that vitamin D can also be found in dried shiitake
mushrooms in excessive amount. These mushrooms are rich in Vitamin D because of

not by any artificial means. Only shiitake mushrooms dried under the sun will enable
you to take benefits from Vitamin D effectively.

body. It is also responsible for leveling blood flow. Vitamin D deficiency can cause
certain health problems and diseases in your body and can even form cancer in some
parts.
