Vitamin D fortification

Vitamin D fortification involves adding vitamin D to commonly consumed foods, such as milk, cereals, or orange juice, to help prevent deficiencies. Since sunlight exposure helps the body produce vitamin D naturally, fortification compensates for limited sunlight or dietary intake, supporting bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. This public health strategy aims to improve vitamin D levels across populations, especially in regions with low sunlight or for groups at risk of deficiency. Fortification is a safe, effective measure endorsed by health authorities to promote optimal health outcomes.
