10 Foods High in Vitamin D
Vitamin D Rich Food #2: Cod Liver Oil
Cod liver oil is extracted from the liver of codfish, a deep water fish found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Cod liver oil has been used as a nutritional supplement for many decades. Cod liver is the probably the richest dietary source of vitamin D. One tablespoon contains 1,360 IUs of vitamin D. This is more than double the recommended daily allowance for a typical adult.
Cod liver oil also contains vitamin A which is also required for good bone and vision health. Cod liver oil also contains the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Taking cod liver oil is an easy way to meet your vitamin D intake, especially if you don’t get much sunshine.
