Condisano - Olive Oil vitamin D enriched

From the Research Centre of the Oleifici Mataluni Condisano, the olive oil with the sunshine vitamin, to enrich with vitamin D the daily diet of the Italians. There are few foods that, naturally, contain vitamin D. Only a few animal fats contain significant amounts from a nutritional standpoint. The daily diet, then, can generally meet only in small part our need for vitamin D. The remaining part should be guaranteed by the production in the body further to our skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation present in sunlight. However, modern lifestyles, that lessen our sun exposure, and the use of sunscreen creams, make it increasingly difficult to meet the daily requirement of this vitamin. The vitamin D deficiency is, thus, becoming a common worldwide problem.
