Vitamin D keeps your bones sturdy, your immune system strong, and your mood bright. But most Americans don’t get enough … especially those with limited sun, darker skin, or higher body weight. While foods like salmon and eggs help, it’s tough to meet your needs from diet alone. Supplements can fill the gap, but choose wisely: vitamin D3 is the form your body naturally makes and uses best. Look for D3-only products that are third-party tested for quality. And before you add any supplement, talk with your doctor to find the right dose for you.
