Vitamin D: Essential with calcium

By Mayo Clinic Staff

You know calcium is important for bone health. Make sure you're also getting enough vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium. Foods rich in vitamin D include fatty fish, such as salmon, trout, and tuna. Other food sources are mushrooms and eggs. Milk, some cereals, orange juice, and other foods and drinks are fortified with vitamin D. You can also get vitamin D from sun exposure.
