Vitamin D: also known as the Sunshine Vitamin is essential for calcium absorption.  Since we all use sunscreen or sit in front of the computer all day long it is very essential to include fish, egg yolk, butter in our daily food because sunlight is the only major source of it and I doubt if we really get our daily source from that.
