Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and can be stored in your body. Your body manufactures Vitamin D from sunlight on exposed skin; at least 20 minutes a day is recommended (It’s called sunshine Vitamin D). I think few of us are able to get 20 minutes of sunshine every day so you may [...]
