Shorter days and gray skies can make it harder to get enough vitamin D from sunlight. Known as the "sunshine vitamin," vitamin D plays a key role in nutrient absorption and overall wellness. For those not getting adequate sun exposure, food sources can help support healthy levels.
Dr. Reuben Chen, MD, Chief Medical Advisor at Sunrider® International and a board-certified physician with expertise in longevity, was a featured expert in the article “If You're Not Getting Enough Sunlight In The Winter, These 8 Foods Can Help Increase Vitamin D Levels And Your Mood “in BuzzFeed’s Tasty section, which provides approachable, reliable tips on food and nutrition.

Dr. Chen offered guidance on naturally supporting vitamin D intake: “Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are excellent natural sources of vitamin D,” he notes. “Egg yolks can also contribute modest amounts, supporting your daily intake.” Dr. Chen adds, “Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so pairing these foods with a healthy fat can help optimize absorption.”
To help maintain healthy vitamin D levels year-round, Sunrider offers its own Vitamin D3 supplement, available in convenient soft-gel capsules in 1,000 IU and 5,000 IU formulas. Both are fortified with vitamin E and safflower oil to support vitamin D absorption.*
