Time to start taking vitamin D

• Angostura 7y ago
  The only supplement that the NHS recommends is taken by the bulk of healthy adults in the UK - especially during winter months.

  You would probably benefit more from being out in the sun than from taking vitamin D supplements.

    Yeah, and possibly die of malignant melanoma. At the same time, no sun exposure is also a risk of melanoma - not sure if due to vitamin D or more possibly - due to the hormetic effect of mild skin DNA damage.

      A little daily sun exposure won't significantly increase your risk of melanoma (unless you have a rare genetic disorder).
      • nikolay 7y ago
        True, but you get enough vitamin D - especially not during the winter.
