Also called the \u201csunshine vitamin\u201d, UV-B from sunlight is the most\neffective and naturally-occurring source for Vitamin D. For these reasons, we\ncan be grateful that our bodies produce it naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin D Production in Skin<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once your skin is exposed to sunlight, which contains ultra violet-B rays, it takes what it needs and de-metabolizes the rest. Too much Vitamin D can cause the body to over-process calcium, another vital mineral for human health. This is why sunless tanning should be done safely and responsibly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunlight-produced Vitamin D protects against this potential danger, since the skin naturally defends itself by de-metabolizing any excess UVB.\u00a0 Generally, 10-20 minutes in the sun each day is all you need! This of course depends on the strength of the sunrays and the darkness of your skin. Darker skin and weaker sunrays may require longer sun exposure for optimal production levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin D Alternatives<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The sun is the best and most guaranteed natural source for\nVitamin D production and sufficiency. However, for those that cannot be exposed\nto the sun for health concerns, there are alternative sources that can provide\nthe same benefits. Many health stores offer Vitamin D supplements that come in\nthe form of pills, capsules, powders, drinks, gummies, and more. Although not\nnatural, these alternatives are easily accessible and affordable. Talk to your\ndoctor before mixing any OTC dietary supplements with current medications or\nhealth conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
