Vitamin D comes from the Sun...
On multiple occasion. from a variety of credible sources, I've been told that it is extremely beneficial for one's health to take a Vitamin D supplement.

Makes sense. Your body needs lots of Vitamin D to function as it was designed to.

Yet, I've read it's pretty much impossible to ingest enough vitamin D to have any real effect on one's health.

And, that the most concentrated and abundant source of Vitamin D is in fact sunlight.

This also makes sense: Vitamin D is essential to a healthy body and it is available for free anywhere.

Nature works pretty well that.

Seriously, this should provide good evidence for or against prolonged sun exposure. Any thoughts?

Re: Vitamin D comes from the Sun...
Our bodies and our universe are wonderful.

Our sun produces ultraviolet rays. UVB exposure induces the production of vitamin D in our skin.

Cosmic Galactic information streams from the sun directly to our DNA as well---best not to block it, unless you're not open to that sort of thing.

I don't go in the sun like your dog does though. Although it has been cold the last few days (90s) it was three digit weather (110-116) for 45 days straight just before this cool down. I am not going to sit in the sun at 110, lol!

Just a couple minutes in that kinda heat, but it's actually really good to sweat everything out too though!

vitmain d3 body content determines between production of fast switching muscle and high strength muscle.

overdose of vitamin d3 may under certain circumstances cause calcium to be deposited in membrane walls, e.g. arteries, the calcium deposits could lead to rupture.

Re: Vitamin D comes from the Sun...
These days, the suns effects can be felt much more quickly then even when I was a child. Possible, this is due to the weakening magnetosphere (I am no scientist).

I would be cautious not to become over-exposed.

stay happy
don’t worry

Is that really true? I know what you mean (I seem to go red fairly quickly) but is this because we have been avoiding regular exposure due to media fearmongering? Maybe regular exposure negates these effects?

Unfortunately that is the truth, but this is only the case in some select parts of the world

Be self-aware, you can feel once your body has had its fill of sunlight. Listen to your body and you will be well.

You are right on my friend.

Nature's way is my favorite way!

We have accumulated many toxins in our bodies that we would do well to rid ourselves of -- It would be even better to limit the amount of toxins we ingest in the first place, at least as much as that is possible in today's increasingly toxic environment...

And it would take shitload of it. Jeez, do your homework. The daily recommended by dumbass "official government agencies" are set so low, it makes no beneficial differences. You need a lot more than what you've been told.

Federal guideline is 200-400 IU a day. Latest papers indicates that on average that adults need 5000 IU a day. Compare that to people with fair skin standing buck naked for 20-30 minutes at midday during warm months.... 10,000-20,000 IU or more. Your body self regulates the amount of vitamin D from the sun but 5,000 IU a day from supplement wont kill you. It's just to maintain optimal level esp during cold months or jobs that you cant get out and take shirt off for 20-30 minutes. Hell, even air pollution in large cities block UVB sunlight.

its not a scare tactic, its a warning dont ingest too much vitamin d over long periods of time, you cant overdose from the sun though.

vitamin D stimulates intestinal calcium absorption, try and learn something yourself, maybe you will be atleast as bright as me, dipshit.

Link? D2 is the prescription by doctors to raise vitamin D level in USA. Often one 50,000 IU pill a week for a couple months or so. It's true that overexposure to uva can deplete vitamin D but producing D2? That is news to me.

yes a shitload built up over a long period of time, thats the only way anything really affects you.

most people in the know about vitamin d3, like myself take megadoses of it, and get blood checked atleast yearly just to make sure its not too much.

5000IU is nothing tbh thats about 125ug !! which is nothing compared to what i take a day.

just like i say, little knowledge, can be dangerous, get the full facts.
