Vitamin D, and why November matters

The one vitamin your body makes from sunlight, and the one most Canadians don't make enough of from October to April.

Vitamin D regulates calcium, supports immune function, and modulates mood. Unlike most vitamins, your body synthesizes it when UVB light hits the skin.

In Canada, the angle of the sun between October and April is too low for the skin to produce meaningful vitamin D. The Health Canada CCHS 2012 survey found a significant share of Canadian adults fall below the recommended daily intake of 600 to 800 IU.

RISE delivers 30 mcg, 150% of the Daily Value, per can. A full day of D in your morning glass, important year-round and even harder to come by in the winter.
