Does anyone know if one can get enough vitamin D to ward off covid from sunlight during the summer? I am outside several hours a day and usually in a tank top/shorts... I’m asking because I react badly to vitamin D supplements - I get a headache and tingling in my legs and feet. I still take a liquid form or a topical form during the winter months and just deal with it.
depends where you live, yous skin tone etc. closer to equator better
but yes sunshine works
let me correct myself you can get sufficient vitamin d from the sun but it does not necessarily ward off covid
Since you’re in Georgia, you can get plenty of vitamin D at the sunniest part of the day if it’s sunny out. Leave as much skin exposed as possible and stay out as long as you can.
This is why I go out every lunch hour and take a walk. Up here we have to work on it to get enough sunshine D. (I take supplements too.)
Desk lamp flickering like mad. I hope we’re not going to have a blackout in this horrible heat.
Depends upon where you live...from what I understand you need to be in southern parts of US (closer to equator is best) Where I live, not so much. Have you ever had your D3 levels tested? That would help and is recommended. Want it to be 50-70.
Did you ever try dry Vitamin D?
Pure Encapsulations sells one that I have tried and seem to be tolerating well, so far.
I do the same as you. Outside in the sun every day possible.
