Which vitamin is synthesized by the body in the presence of sunlight?

Vitamins are important biomolecules that are required by the body in small quantities. They maintain good health and promote growth. Vitamin D or Calciferol is important for the health of bones and teeth. It helps in the absorption of calcium by the intestine when taken in the diet.

Only 10% of the vitamin D the body needs is obtained from the food we eat while the rest is synthesized by the body itself when the skin is exposed to sunlight.
