How do we get Vitamin D from the sun?

Brains, brains, brains on.

So let's shed some light on this topic.

There's a lot wrapped up in that simple question you asked.

So let's break it down bit by bit.

We'll start with this.

What's a vitamin anyway?

Vitamins are something your body needs to do its body thing, like growing and staying alive.

But your body doesn't make its own vitamins.

So we need to get vitamins from food.

Your body needs minerals too.

Those are like vitamins.

They are things your body needs to stay alive and stay healthy.

You may have heard of some of these minerals.

They are things like potassium, iron, and sodium.

Like vitamins, we get these minerals from the food we eat.

We call both vitamins and minerals nutrients.

They help our bodies do the things we need to do.

Now let's meet the vitamins.

Vitamins have letter names, vitamin A, vitamin B-

Vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and obviously the next is-

Vitamin K.

Okay.

You're probably like, um, what happened to vitamin F? Doesn't F come after E?
