Why do we need to supplement vitamin D in winter?
Our skin naturally synthesizes vitamin D in response to sunlight, which is why it is called the sunshine vitamin.
But on winter days without sunlight, our bodies may not produce enough vitamin D. Therefore, supplementing vitamin D through diet in winter is extremely important.
