Current recommendations to prevent vitamin D deficiency aim to ensure a daily vitamin D intake that maintains 25(OH)D levels more than 20 ng/ml for the majority of healthy individuals. The amount of vitamin D in a regular diet is small, as most foods naturally contain limited quantities of this element. Only fatty fish, such as cod or salmon, contain higher amounts, but children do not usually consume these in large quantities.
