Foods High In Vitamin D

Here is a list of the foods natually high in vitamin D. Both fish meat and fish liver oils have the largest quantity per serving. Here you will also fin the amount of vitamin D per serving.

Some foods have limited amounts of D such as beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks.

Types of Vitamin D

Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is in fish, fish oils, beef liver, cheese and egg yolks.

Vitamin D2 or ergocalciferol is found in some mushrooms.

Some foods, like milk and ready to eat breakfast cereals and some juices have vitamin D added. This is not as good as the naturally occurring vitamin D.

Making the Best of Foods High In Vitamin D

A contrarian view of the traditional supplement industry recommendations would be to only take for three days on and two off. Or to make it easier, take them Monday and Tuesday, off Wednesday and Thursday and on again Friday. Any combination so that there are a few days off in between.

The rational for this is three fold.

1) This is the basic avoid food allergy regimen.

2) If you cannot afford it, you will not do it. Spacing will make it more affordable.

3) Your body will not take or store more than it needs.

Increase the days when dealing with illness, stress, needing extra mental agility or will face physically stressful situations.

So foods rich in vitamin D are also rich for our health in more ways than we could imagine.

In addition to foods high in vitamin D, there are other ways to boost your intercellular glutathione.
