about vitamin D taken from sun?

Question

WE take vitamen D from sun but is it available the whole day from sun or i have heard that this vitamin is produced only early morning and we can take it from sun only early morning.
whats the true story?

Answer 1

We can synthesise Vit D from sun exposure at any time. It only requires about 20 seconds of exposure to one forearm each day, You don't need to sunbathe.

Answer 2

Free D is correct.

In addition to that, if a person has dark skin and lives close to the poles where there is not much sunlight for half the year, then vitamin D should be included in the diet. Vitamin D enriched milk is an excellent source.

Fair skinned people near the equator only need 15 minutes in the sun (with sunscreen) to get the RDA of vitamin D.

Answer 3

The human body produces its own vitamin D in the skin. This process is dependent on ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. However, Vitamin D should not be excluded from the diet, especially for people who do not receive sufficient exposure to UVB sunlight.

The time of day does not matter!

Answer 4

Whenever your skin is directly exposed to sunlight , vitamin D is synthesized in your body. Exposure of 10-15 minutes for the hands , arms , and the face three times per week is enough . Vitamin D production is decreased by dark skin , sunscreen , window glass , clothing , air pollution , aging and lack of sun exposure ( northern latitude , home-bound persons , or cultural dressing habits) .

Answer 5

I heard that all you need is 15 minutes in the sun to give you the daily recommendation for vitamin D. Just a 15-minute walk or just hanging around outside will be efficient enough. =)

Answer 6

Vitamins are 2 groups,, water soluble and not soluble and vitamin D of the not soluble ,, we need sun light to make vitamin D inside our body by converting another compound avaliable there,, fish oil and some kind of food are rich of that

Answer 7

i thought it was just sunlight, not sunlight at a certain day of the day
