This isn't much the case with all the vitamin D fortification going on. Just be sure to consume these fortified foods: yogurt, margarine, milk, cereal, and bread. Also, you can get vitamin D in fatty fish such as herring, salmon, and mackerel. It is also found in eggs. Multivitamins are a good insurance as well.
