This new video helps explain how much vitamin D you really need. You decide. Do you just want good bone health or do you want vitamin D to help reduce your risk of serious diseases.
Check out this new video from the Vitamin D Society. As you increase your intake, you can reduce your risk of ailments. Most of your Vitamin D come from an interaction between your skin and UVB light. Why is this, one you can’t go to toxic levels (very hard to do with supplements, but this is the only way you can go to toxic level). And helps reduce the risk of skin cancer if made in your skin. Plus when you make vitamin d in your skin, there are so many more photoproducts being produced.

Updated recommendations emphasize an individualized approach to sun exposure and sun protection based on skin type in order to maximize benefits and reduce harms
Key Points – In March 2023, Australia became the first country to provide updated guidelines for sun exposure based on skin type, risk of skin cancer, and risk of vitamin D deficiency, officially recommending increased sun exposure for darker skinned people
– Darker skin contains more melanin, which acts as a natural sunscreen. While this decreases the likelihood of sunburns and skin cancer, the more melanin skin contains the longer it takes to produce vitamin D, so that a person with skin type VI may require more than 10 times the length of UVB exposure to make the same amount of vitamin D as someone with skin type II
– Once you know your skin type, you can get a better idea of your overall risk for skin cancer and sunburn. The next step is to determine how much time you can expose your skin to sunlight without burning; after that amount of time is when it is important to cover up, apply sunscreen, or get out of the sun.

Make Sure You Are Getting Enough of Both Sunshine & Vitamin D
It is important to incorporate safe, sensible sun exposure into a regular routine, just as it is important to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. Because the sun produces many health-benefiting molecules in addition to vitamin D, sunshine exposure cannot be replaced with taking a supplement.
It is also important not to stop supplementing with vitamin D during the summer. Most people do not make enough vitamin D from sunshine alone, due to their lifestyle and other factors, and therefore must rely on supplementation to maintain optimal vitamin D levels of 40-60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L).
Measure Your Vitamin D Level
Having and maintaining healthy vitamin D levels and other nutrient levels can help improve your health now and for your future.

Dr Greger shared a recent bombshell about sunscreen and sun tan lotion so in this video we’re going to learn why many sunscreens on the market are hazardous to our health but also which kinds are safe to use! We are absolutely no recommending you don’t use any sunscreen but we are advocating for using the safe one if you are able! It’s my opinion that if financially you’re not in a position to afford the recommended sunscreen then it’s still better to use the stuff you can buy at your local store than none at all!
