Summary
Vitamin D is mostly absorbed from sun exposure, but as people spend more time indoors during cooler weather, it's important to pay attention to their levels. Deficiency symptoms include depression, bone pain, and muscle weakness, with serious conditions like dementia and heart disease. Guidelines recommend a higher intake and testing to ensure sufficient levels, and dietary interventions like eating fatty fish and fortified foods can also help.
