A deficiency of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children and bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.
How much vitamin D do I need? From around the end of March/early April to the end of September, the majority of people should be able to make all the vitamin D they need from the sunlight on their skin. In fall and winter, you need to get vitamin D from your diet because the sun is not strong enough for the body to make vitamin D.
However, because it is difficult for people to get enough vitamin D from diet alone, everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during the fall and winter. From the end of March/beginning of April to the end of September, most people can produce the vitamin D they need completely themselves through sunlight on the skin and through a balanced diet.
