Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

Vitamin D deficiency is caused by a lack of sunlight and lack of added vitamin D in food. Eggs yolks and certain fish also contain the vitamin.

Daily sunlight of at least 20 minutes, as well as taking foods (dairy/cereals) or supplements fortified with Vitamin D, can help.
Best,
Susan
