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.
