North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun said: “Vitamin D is an important nutrient. “It is especially important for women,” the report said on February 16. “Women should avoid vitamin D deficiency because they are at high risk of developing osteoporosis.”

The Rodong Sinmun states that vitamin D is also important for pregnant women because it plays an essential role in the normal development of the fetus.

He pointed out that the recommended daily intake of vitamin D through food is approximately 600 IU (international units) and that if you do not receive sunlight, you should consume 1,000 IU of vitamin D per day through food.

Rodong Newspaper introduced that vitamin D can be consumed through mushrooms, fish, seafood, eggs, etc.
