Winter will be here soon, and I will be unable to obtain sufficient vitamin D from the sun.  The sun is also important for NO production.  I'm wondering if the poor angle of the sun in the winter also means that my body will ergo NO production from the sun?

Your body has lots of ways to biosynthesize NO without sunlight.  This is in contrast to vitamin D, which needs either sunlight or supplementation.

Thanks for the info.  What are some of the ways?  I eat lots of green leafy vegetables for NO, what are some other ways?

Given that arginine is the immediate precursor of NO production, anything that supplies that should help.   Here's a list that ranks foods by arginine content:

Arginine's precursors include citrulline, ornithine, putrescine, and spermidine.  As well as probiotic reactions with glutamate. Which would add lots of other less direct sources.

If you think, that you will have a shortage of vitamin D in the winter, you can take it in pills. 

 

By the way, the winter vitamin D shortage is important only for the children.
