They work together and are some of the best vitamins for women, especially after age 40.<\/p><p>Vitamin D is known as \u201cthe sunshine vitamin\u201d because our skin can actually produce vitamin D when exposed to direct UV light. However, most of us aren\u2019t getting enough regular outside time to make all the vitamin D we need.<\/p><p>While\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gnc.com\/vitamins-a-z\/vitamin-d\/\">vitamin D<\/a>\u00a0is predominantly found in fatty fish, UV-treated mushrooms, and certain vitamin D-fortified foods, many of us also don\u2019t consume enough to meet our needs. Calcium is found in foods like dairy products, calcium-set tofu, beans, leafy greens, almonds, and some non-dairy plant milk.<\/p><p>Adequate vitamin D is essential to build and maintain bone mineral density. Plus, daily supplementation with vitamin D provides dietary support to maintain normal blood calcium levels. As women get older, calcium absorption decreases which can lead to weakened bones, making it even more important to get enough of this essential vitamin.<\/p><p>As for the question of how much vitamin D per day for a woman, have your vitamin D levels checked before adding a supplement, so you dose appropriately.
