You get Vit D from a) Sun light. Exposing your face, arms, legs, back, upper chest to sunlight for half an hour twice a week (during early hours when Sun is not very hot) b) Mushrooms. Mushrooms are grown in dark environments . But if they are exposed to Sunlight for half an hour before they are consumed then they also become a good store of Vit D c) Cheese and other Dairy products. About 50 gm per day is required. Milk and some other foods like cooking oil are fortified by Vit D in some Countries. d) Vit D3 Capsules or Sachets. They are not exactly Natural products but you have the best chance of maintaining your Vit D level by consuming these.

Cow's milk , fortified milk ,dairy products like cheese , yogurt ,oranges or orange juice , cereals are rich sources of vitamin d. Besides fortified foods, mushrooms are the  sufficient non-animal source of vitamin D. Exposure to the sunlight in the morning for 30 minutes a day is recommended.You have vitamin d deficiency , which needs weekly 60000 iu vitamin d for at least 15 weeks along with calcium supplement daily.
