VITAMIN D helps absorb calcium which is a vital mineral that is essential for our bones. Some of the best dietary sources of vitamin D3 include oily fish like salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel etcetera. A portion of these provides around 50 per cent (5ug) of the recommended intake of 10ug. It isn’t advised to take two portions of fish per day to achieve your recommended daily intake of vitamin D3 as the manageable mercury and toxins in fish would then start to become a problem.
