Will sunbathing or going in a tanning machine incur the same benefit?

  There's an established link between Vitamin D deficiency and compromised immune system response. Unless you live in a hot sunny country or spend a lot of time outdoors in the winter, the chances are good you're somewhat deficient. But this is easy to check, and easy to fix with supplements.

    And supplementation is a far safer approach than suntanning (and certainly than sunbed use; that's almost never advisable).

    I believe D3 specifically is needed to fix that deficiency just as an FYI.
