For most people, the best way to get enough vitamin D is taking a supplement, but the level in most multivitamins (400 IU) is too low, according to the article.
Two forms of vitamin D are used in supplements: vitamin D2 (“ergocalciferol,” or pre-vitamin D) and vitamin D3 (“cholecalciferol”). Vitamin D3 is chemically indistinguishable from the form of vitamin D produced in the body.
Vitamin D2 is less potent and has a shorter duration of action in its value to the body than D3, according to The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
The body also manufactures vitamin D from cholesterol, through a process triggered by the action of sunlight on skin, which is why it’s nicknamed “the sunshine vitamin.”
However, many people do not make enough vitamin D from the sun. Among those who may not make enough vitamin D from sun exposure are people who have a dark skin tone, those who are overweight, elderly people and those who cover up when they are in the sun.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus, both critical for building bone. Laboratory studies show that vitamin D plays a critical role in controlling infections.
Many of the body’s organs and tissues have receptors for vitamin D, and scientists are still teasing out its other possible functions.

Debate Continues About How Much Vitamin D
need each day. A report released in 2010 by the Institute of Medicine recommended tripling the daily vitamin D intake for children and adults in the U.S. and Canada, to 600 IU per day.
The report also recognized the safety of vitamin D by increasing the upper limit from 2,000 to 4,000 IU per day, and acknowledged that even at 4,000 IU per day, there was no good evidence of harm, according to The Nutrition Source.
According to experts, the guidelines are overly conservative about the recommended intake, and they do not give enough weight to some of the latest science on vitamin D and health. For bone health and chronic disease prevention, many people are likely to need more vitamin D than these government guidelines recommend.
Early Research Discovering Multiple Roles for Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus, both critical for building bone. Laboratory studies show that vitamin D can reduce cancer cell growth and plays a critical role in controlling infections, according to Nutrition Source. Many of the body’s organs and tissues have receptors for vitamin D, and scientists are still looking for its other possible functions.
Vitamin D and Bone and Muscle StrengthSeveral studies link low vitamin D levels with an increased risk of fractures in older adults, and they suggest that vitamin D supplementation may prevent such fractures — as long as it is taken in a high enough dose.*
