Interesting! Are you losing the ability because you are becoming tanner? Or does the sunlight damage your ability to create vitamin D? Do you know the answer to Circlecity’s question??

(Thanks!)

You do lose vitamin C quickly! There are supplements designed to slow release vitamin C as the supplement passes through your digestive system. Pretty sure that Vitamin D can be stored in your body. Depending on your body weight and how much time you spend in the sun I would think 2000 to 5000 IU per day would be safe. (Note that I am not a doctor and this is a layman’s opinion.)

I had been taking Vitamin D3 but then read about the benefits of Vitamin D3+K so now I alternate between the two every other day. Also taking Zinc.

After you tan you make less vitamin d.

People compared how much the vitamin d level in the blood increases after producing vitamin d in black and white skin.

If you do it one time, the vitamin d levels in white people increase more. After exposing them regularly for weeks, the levels in white and black people were the same.

Vitamin d can be eliminated in the skin.

If activated vitamin d and calcium in the blood are high at the same time, the body eliminates some activated vitamin d and some vitamin d that had not been activated.

After sun exposure, sweat contains vitamin d.

Since vitamin d is made from a substance in the skin similar to cholesterol, if the skin doesn’t have a lot of it, it won’t produce a lot of vitamin d.

Bunny and horse medicine works. Why do we discriminate against Indian scientists? Isn’t that racist? Oh wait, India is against the CCP, which explains everything.

"Except during the summer months, the skin makes little if any vitamin D from the sun at latitudes above 37 degrees north (in the United States, the shaded region in the map) or below 37 degrees south of the equator. People who live in these areas are at relatively greater risk for vitamin D deficiency."

in one of the few randomized trials testing the effect of vitamin D supplements on cancer outcomes, postmenopausal women who took 1,100 international units (IU) of vitamin D plus 1,400 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium per day reduced their risk of developing non-skin cancers by 77% after four years, compared with a placebo and the same dose of calcium. The 1,100 IU dose — nearly three times the 400 IU per day recommended in federal and other expert guidelines — was correlated with a 35% higher blood level of vitamin D, on average. In the only other randomized trial of vitamin D and cancer — part of the Women's Health Initiative — researchers found no effect on colorectal cancer. Critics say that the dose, 400 IU per day, was too small to make a difference.

What's more, your skin's production of vitamin D is influenced by age (people ages 65 and over generate only one-fourth as much as people in their 20s do), skin color (African Americans have, on average, about half as much vitamin D in their blood as white Americans).. - https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/time-for-more-vitamin-d

Taking too much vitamin D can cloud its benefits and ... https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/... Dec 15, 2019 · Your age. Your skin's ability to produce vitamin D drops with age. If you're over age 65, you generate only one-fourth as much vitamin D

It’s not ironic.

It’s evil.

“do you have to have a positive covid test to get it?”

No, they just ask.

That’s good to know. I had heard you had to have a positive covid test.

“I had heard you had to have a positive covid test.”

Nope, all they did was ask me if I have been vaxed or not. I told them no vax.
