How to obtain vitamin D

Sources of VITAMIN D

Prefer to obtain VITAMIN D from Sun and Food

The Sun

Sunshine-Derived VITAMIN D3

We are designed to be in the sun  - ideally, we can produce VITAMIN D3 from UV-B spectrum sunlight acting on the skin which converts cholesterol precursor(7-DHC) in the skin into D3. UV-B rays occur when the zenith angle of the sun is > 45°, typically 10am to 2pm, and depends on latitude and season. Obtaining sun at these times optimizes skin's VITAMIN D production, whilst minimizing UV-A damage to skin.

A light skinned person needs at least 30 minutes of ~ 1/3 body (arms, lower legs, face, hands) exposure, without sunscreen, and with clear skies (Up to 1 or more hours may be needed for darker skinned people and the elderly).
